8 1. WAX PATTERN MANUFACTURE a/ Master die making -Using master pattern (using low-melt point alloys, by metal spraying, by galvanization) Master pattern METAL SPRAYING Master die Sand mould Plaster Low melting point alloy Low melting point alloy Sn,Bi,Pb,Cd T mel =70 C soft T mel = 138 C hard Master die GALVANIZATION Low melting point alloy Metal master pattern Ni,Cu,Fe by galvanization -By machining from solid metal blocks ( the most often used method )
9 1. WAX PATTERN MANUFACTURE b/ Wax pattern making WAXES USED Present waxes complex materials containing following components: - natural waxes TYPES of WAXES - syntetic waxes - natural resins - Straight (non-filled) - syntetic resins - Filled (30% of filler) - organic fillers - Emulsified -water (by water, air) Combination of different raw materials properties to achieve optimal wax characteristics: -melting and congealing point - ash content ( 0,05%) -hardness - flexibility -viscosity - surface quality -expansion/contraction - stability to oxidation -solidification rate - possibility to recycle
10 BASIC PRINCIPLE OF INJECTION MACHINE FOR WAX PATTERN MAKING Valve Wax storage S p (piston surface) Piston pump Transport wax hose v c Injection nozzle Piston Injection cylinder with wax Master die
11 EQUIPMENT FOR WAX PATTERN MAKING injection machine +wax melter + conditioner
