Lost Wax Process Casting

Product Details ofLost Wax Process Casting

Manufacturing requires a lot of manpower for metal forming, welding, and polishing to produce parts that meet strict surface finish and specified design requirements. Even when these requirements can be met in manufacturing, the final product often varies from batch to batch, making interchangeability and consistent performance a problem. Dongkun successfully converted the complex manufacturing into a single large precision casting. Therefore, customers can enjoy the benefits of saving labor, improving production capacity, consistency of production parts, and increasing process yield.

What is the water glass precision casting process？

The glass is melted and shaped through a mold. Generally, after the mold is manufactured, the glass melt is injected into the mold or the glass fragments are stacked in the mold of the pre-made mold, and the mold is put into the furnace for melting, and the mold with the glass domain is matched and then annealed and formed.

The advantages of the water glass precision casting process.

1. The main difference between the advantages and disadvantages of water glass sand precision casting and chilled resin sand casting is that the production process is different because of the different binders and curing agents used.

2. In water glass sand casting, the water glass is colorless, odorless, and non-toxic. It is no problem if it gets on the skin and clothes and rinsed with water, but it must be avoided from splashing in people's eyes. Water glass does not release irritating or harmful gases during sand mixing, molding, hardening, and pouring, and there is no black and acid pollution. However, if the craftsmanship is improper and too many people are added to the water glass, the disintegration of the water glass sand will not be good. Dust flying when cleaning sand will also cause pollution. At the same time, it is difficult to regenerate old sand, and the discharge of waste sand causes alkaline pollution to the environment. If these two problems can be overcome, water glass sand can become environmentally friendly molding sand with basically no waste sand discharge. The fundamental measure to solve these two problems is to reduce the additional amount of water glass to less than 2%, which can basically shake out the sand. When the amount of water glass added is reduced, the residual Na2O in the old sand is also reduced. Using a relatively simple dry method for regeneration, it is possible to maintain the residual Na2O in the circulating sand below 0.25%. This reclaimed sand can meet the application requirements of single molding sand for small and medium-sized steel castings. At this time, even if the old water glass sand is not regenerated by the expensive and complicated wet method. With the relatively simple and cheap dry regeneration, it can also be fully recycled, basically, no waste sand is discharged, and the sand-iron ratio can be reduced to below 1:1.

3. Although resin sand has the advantages of high dimensional accuracy of castings, smooth surface, high modeling efficiency, it can manufacture castings with complex shapes and strict internal quality requirements, and easy recovery and regeneration of old sand; however, resin sand has high production costs and serious environmental pollution. Under the conditions that people have increasingly strict requirements for their own living conditions and the environment, the application of resin sand is limited to a certain extent due to the large investment in workshop labor protection and production environment sanitation. The water glass is colorless, odorless, and non-toxic, and there is no irritating or toxic gas overflow during the sand mixing molding, hardening, and casting processes. Therefore, in recent years, many countries have paid more attention to water glass sand.
