These components are mixed with water, and the resulting slurry is poured over the pattern. * After the plaster sets, usually within 15 minutes, the pattern is removed and the mold is dried at 120?C-260?C to remove the moisture. Higher drying temperatures may be used depending on the type of plaster. The mold halves are assembled to form the mold cavity and are preheated to about 120?C. The molten metal is then poured into the mold. * High dimensional accuracy and fine details Good surface finish More uniform grain structure with less warpage变形. General Characteristics of Plaster-Mold Casting Precision Casting Typical Applications: gears, valves, fittings配件, lock components, tooling, and ornaments. + Ceramic-mold casting + investment casting * 11.6 Ceramic-Mold Casting (陶瓷型铸造) This process uses refractory mold materials suitable for high-temperature applications. The slurry is a mixture of fine-grained zircon (ZrSiO4), aluminum oxide, and fused silica, which are mixed with bonding agents and poured over the pattern, which has been placed in a flask. The pattern may be made of wood or metal. After setting, the mold (ceramic facings) are removed, dried, burned off to remove volatile matter, and baked. The molds are clamped firmly and used as all-ceramic molds. * South China University of Technology College of Mechanical Engineering Fig.11.16 Sequence of operations in making a ceramic mold * Fig.11.17 A typical ceramic mold for casting steel dies.
