The technology of precision casting of titanium alloys by centrifugal process
Journal Title: Archiwum Odlewnictwa - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
The article describes the development of a procedure for the preparation of foundry ceramic moulds and making first test castings. The presented studies included: development of technological parameters of the ceramic mould preparation process using water-based zirconium binders and zirconia ceramic materials, where moulds are next used for the centrifugal casting of titanium alloys melted in vacuum furnaces, designing of pouring process using simulation software, making test castings, testing and control of the casting properties. The technological process described in this paper enables making castings in titanium alloys weighing up to about 500 g and used in the majority of technical applications.
