Today‚ a process not unlike the original Egyptian style is used in the casting of art and industrial tools using a ceramic shell. Lost wax casting begins with a hollowed hard clay base core. The base core is then covered with beeswax. The artisan would then carve

These defects are illustrated in figure briefly described in the following: [pic] A) Misruns: A Misrun is a casting that has solidified before completely filling the mold cavity. Typical causes include 1) Fluidity of the molten metal is insufficient‚ 2) Pouring Temperature is too low‚ 3) Pouring is done too slowly and/or 4) Cross section of the mold cavity is too thin. b) Cold Shut: A cold shut occurs when two portion

1.0 Calculations 1.1 Sizing of component (including Shrinkage allowance) When cooling from molten state‚ all metals decrease in volume. When cold‚ casting will be smaller than their pattern. In order for parts to be of correct size‚ patterns are made larger to allow shrinkage. The extra size is called Shrinkage Allowance. Different metals have different Shrinkage Allowances. For the purpose of our project‚ we have been using Brass having shrinkage allowance of 1.5%. Length Nominal
