Design of gating systems for wax patterns manufacture by numerical simulation
Vaščák, Tomáš ; Kolda, Vlastimil (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
Diploma thesis deals with problem of designing the gating systems for wax patterns manufacture by numerical simulation. It was created an optimum numerical simulation of wax blend injection, optimized for a simple test model and then applied to more complex pieces. Based on knowledge of plastic injection and the simulation was designed several gating systems for mass-produced pieces. These findings were subsequently applied in the design of gating systems to produce large and thin wax patterns. By comparing the various proposals were finally selected the best solution in order to verify the optimum numerical simulation in practise.

Optimizing the technology of Al casting manufactured by the "lost wax process"
Mikulka, Vít ; Vašťák, Patrik (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
This diploma theses deals with possibilities of using numerical simulation for optimizing production of highly demanding thin-section casting produced by investment casting process. The casting made of aluminium alloy in which the manufacturing process was very problematic (occurrence of macro and micro shrinkages) has been chosen. By numerical simulation the existing technology has been analysed and based on this the possible reasons for defects found. This was later confirmed also by metallographic examinations. Following to this several options for a new technology were proposed and again by simulation checked their suitability. By comparing all above mentioned options two versions have been chosen in the end which was later tested in production with satisfactory results.

Optimation of manufacturing technology of high value castings
Šmíd, Dušan ; Vašťák, Patrik (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
The main target of this thesis is to choose the suitable hard filled wax for the invest-ment casting foundry Fimes a.s. There are several suppliers of these waxes in the World and in this work waxes of the most reputable suppliers from Europe have been investigated. During these tests there were mainly technological properties of the waxes and also dimensions of both wax patterns and also the final castings measu-red. Suitability of the tested waxes, their technological characteristics, analysis of di-mensions and finally basic economical calculations have been then used in this the-sis as a tool for the recommendation for the most suitable wax for the Fimes foundry.

Using of RP techniques and lost wax technology for medical castings
Pavelka, Tomáš ; Joch, Antonín (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
The goal of the diploma thesis is to verify the possibilities of obtaining the casting of the femur component of the customized knee replacement using the technology of Rapid Prototyping and investment casting. To get the wax pattern it is used the method of fabrication the silicon rubber mould. Its optimalization from the wax pattern quality, economy of production and cooling speed aspects is important parameter at repeated production of the wax patterns.

Dimensional accuracy of Al castings manufactured by lost wax process
Kučera, Tomáš ; Vašťák, Patrik (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
The aim of my diploma thesis was to find the possibilities of reaching the dimensional tolerance in the individual phases of casting by the investment casting process. The accuracy of the selected wax patterns and castings were measured by a caliper. At first the selected dimensions of the wax models were measured right after taking them out of the mold and then they were measured during seven days. The castings were measured after pouring. The obtained figures were statistically evaluated. The results show that the large-scale and thick-wall wax model should be coated after seven days of stabilization because the dimensions of the wax model are not stable.

RP technology using FDM method and investment casting technology
Kosour, Vojtěch ; Krutiš, Vladimír (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
An overview of the development of the Investment Casting market and Rapid Prototyping equipment is given in the introductory part of this diploma thesis. Basic methods of rapid prototyping and the FDM method are futher described in detail. The FDM method is consequently used in the practical part of this work for the preparation of the silicon mould. The largest part deals with the issue of the simulation of pouring process of wax into the silicon mould. A characteristics of the casting wax is made; the parametres, which are inserted into the simulation software ProCAST and the possibilities of their measurement are described. The process of the simulation of the mould filling and its validation with the real filling process are described in detail.

Verification of the original technologies used for art castings
Hřebíček, Lukáš ; Mrázek, Martin (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
This diploma thesis is describing making of the same art casting by using different foundry technologies/ moulds (ceramic shell mould, several types of plaster moulds including anhydride gypsum and also natural sand mould). In this thesis there is also description of casting the famous piece of bull from “Byci skala” (Bull Rock). The bull was cast into traditional clay mould which is believed to be the original technology. Also the original shape of the bull casting was reconstructed, i.e. a copy of the original bull casting made. As the main achievement of this work is an overview and comparison of several technologies suitable for making art castings.

Dimensional stability of investment Al castings
Úředníček, Lukáš ; Cileček, Jarmil (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
The aim of this paper is to compare a bottom filling of a ceramic form made by lost wax process and a top filling conventional method. A computer simulation of filling and casting solidification will contribute to this comparison. The comparison includes evaluation of readings DAS and characteristic readings of porosity with chosen varieties of casting. The results show that the readings DAS did not change much but characteristic readings of porosity were much better at bottom filling. The computer simulation also showed a certain contribution in the field of model smelting technology.
