Original abstract

The presented paper is focused on the optimization of the ceramic shell for pouring thin walled aluminium castings by investment casting technology. The main objective is firstly to find the optimal binding system (ceramic slurry) and stucco materials for the shell and secondly its optimal structure and heat treatment (drying of each coat and final shell firing) prior to metal pouring. The paper deals with a complete technological process focusing on production and quality control of the ceramic shell and slurries.
