The sparse literature on the EIA of RP and RT is balanced by that of the comparatively
mature field of industrial ecology (IE). Hence, the review emphasizes portable IE …

A single-crystal hollow turbine blade was taken as the typical part to estimate the interfacial
heat-transfer coefficient (IHTC) during investment-casting process. The experimental …

The aim of this paper is to correlate interfacial heat transfer coefficient (IHTC) to applied
external pressure, in which IHTC at the interface between A356 aluminum alloy and metallic …

Conventionally, unfilled wax has been used as a universal pattern material for the
investment casting process. With increase in demand for accurate dimensions and complex …

Modeling of casting solidification can provide a method for improving casting yields. An
accurate casting solidification model might be used to predict microstructure and to control …

For purposes of an accurate mathematical modeling, it is essential to establish trustworthy
boundary conditions. The heat transfer that occurs at the casting/mold interface is one of …

In this research, modifying effects of some soybeans on the properties of an investment
casting sprue wax (B97) have been studied. For this purpose, soybeans of Wilken-3480, NS …

The influence of de-waxing method and post de-wax treatment on the flexural strength of
ceramic shells has been evaluated. De-waxing by autoclave generates the highest strength …

The removal of wax from an unfired ceramic shell system without cracking or dimensional
alterations is a key stage within the investment casting process. The effect of autoclave …

Aluminum alloys with silicon as a major alloying element consist of a class of alloys which
provides the most significant part of all shaped castings manufactured. This is mainly due to …
