Abstract

This work presents an effort regarding improvement of investment casting system. An alternative design of investment casting system, primarily aimed for jewelry casting, has been developed. Emphasis has been placed on reduction of porosity as well as filling-related defects inherent to typical investment casting practices. The effort is based on the fundamentals addressing science of melting, filling and solidification. Brass was used in this preliminary work to investigate effectiveness of the newly designed investment casting system.
