Casting defects in investment steel castings Mould cracking / Finning Surplus metal following contour of crack in shell mould -Excessive drying rate during drying of primary coats -Different coefficients of expansion between primary and subsequent shell coats -Low shell strength -Poor de-waxing Prevention -Reduce shell drying rates -Increase shell green strength ( = polymer additives in binder ) Use compatible refractories Autoclave is best for de-waxing; pressure build-up ought to be less than 10 s If de-waxing by flashfire or with boiling water ? add extra openings to shell Casting defects in investment steel castings Non-fill / Misrun Incomplete casting with rounded edges where casting is not completely filled. Low shell or metal temperature Lack of metal fluidity Interrupted pouring Too thin sections Low shell permeability Prevention -Increase shell firing temperature and metal pouring temperature -Modify the analysis; avoid aluminium ( Al ) in de-oxidation, use higher silicon ( Si ) -Modify the gating system for higher flow ( kg / s ) -Re-design the problematic area; add thickness -Increase the shell permeability ( coarser refractory, fewer coats ) -Add vents to gating system Casting defects in investment steel castings Primary coat buckle Island of surplus metal on surface of casting -Cracking of primary coat -Uneven primary coat -Too long drainage time -Primary slurry too viscous -Partly gelling slurry; too old slurry Prevention -Ensure that wax patterns are etched and washed ? good wetting of primary coat -Measure and adjust the primary slurry to right viscocity -Reduce drainage time -Check pH and the age of slurry ? if already gelling ? make new slurry Casting defects in investment steel castings Rat tailing / Oxidation crazing Shallow rounded grooves on the surface of the casting with radial pattern. -Too high shell temperature -Shell cracking -Shells not covered after pouring Prevention -Reduce shell temperature -Cove
