Investigations of Properties of Wax Mixtures Used in the Investment Casting Technology – New Investigation Methods
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2012, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
The results of testing of the selected group of wax mixtures used in the investment casting technology, are presented in the paper. The measurements of the kinetics of the mixtures shrinkage and changes of viscous-plastic properties as a temperature function were performed. The temperature influence on bending strength of wax mixtures was determined.

Compensation of reactive power in the power-supplying system in a roller mixer in laboratory conditions
Of particular importance are instantaneous voltage and current levels registered in the three-phase power-supplying systems in roller mixer in laboratory conditions. Recorded data allow the apparent power, active and rea...
Plastic properties of cold-deformed ironbased sintered materials
Cold plastic forming of sintered metal powders has limited practical application because of, among others, the deformation degree and initial porosity of preforms. Cold forming is combined with a very drastic drop of pla...
Control of rebonding sand mixing as a condition for optimisation of the sand feeding system in the casting line
In order to ensure the effective operation of the casting line, synthetic sand containing bentonite has to be fed in a precisely controlled quality and quantity. The required quantity is ensured by mixing stations outfit...
The influence of remelting parameters of the electric arc and conventional tempering on the tribological resistance of high speed steel HS 6-5-2
The present thesis depicts the results of the research of tribological high speed steel HS 6-5-2 remelted with the electric arc. Steel was remelted with different parameters. The amperage of electric arc was changed, the...
Mechanism of carbon influence on the transition from graphite to cementite eutectic in cast iron
In this work an analytical solution is used to explain mechanism of carbon influence on the transition from graphite to cementite eutectic in cast iron. It is found that this transition can be related to (1) the nucleati...
