Present state of investment casting technology
Mazůrek, Tomáš ; Zemčík, Ladislav (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
The bachelor’s thesis elaborated within the scope of full-time study of specialization B-STI Mechanical Engineering is dealing with procedures and methods of production castings using the lost wax casting technology. This literature review deals with the entire production process from casting molds for the production models to the ultimate control of manufactured parts and is structured exactly as the technological process in the manufacture of components. For each of the technological process are given commonly used procedures and new technologies that are developed and are now examined. The second part is specific examples of the use of technology investment pattern at present. The aim of this work is to create a bibliographic search, describing the evolution of technology, investment pattern and its possible use today.

Use of Numerical Simulation to Optimize Wax Patterns Production
Kosour, Vojtěch ; Elbel, Tomáš (referee) ; Nová, Iva (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
Production of wax pattern model by injection machine is a one of the key phases of Investment casting process. The thesis deals with the development of numerical simulation wax blend injection in to metal die. The possibilities of selection simulation software – ProCast and Cadmould are described in the relation to numerical predictions of wax injection. Creating of material database of selected wax blends is described. The prototype simulations of die filling are made. The special testing die are designed a used for created simulations. The measurements of initial conditions are mentioned.

Actual trends in manufacturing of permanent patterns
Procházka, Michal ; Bouška, Ondřej (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the more detailed description of various methods employed for the manufacturing of permanent patterns which are used for making of nonpermanent moulds. According to the type of materials the models are divided into the wooden, the metallic, the plastic and the models made from the resin. The work covers the description of handmade manufacturing which is performed either manually (generally in case of wooden models) or by conventional methods of machining. It also includes the CNC machining mostly used for the manufacture of larger models. Further, certain methods Rapid prototyping are described here but these methods are restricted in sizes of future model, as they are used for the models of smaller measurements. Finally, the newer methods including the methods of Additive manufacturing are also described in the work.

Optimization of wax and ceramic shell technologies in the company Fimes
Kolesár, Roman ; Vašťák, Patrik (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
The thesis continue thematically in the previous development of the wax mixtures for the company Fimes. The general description of the investment casting process from the production of the die to casting of the wax pattern is handled in the first part. It is followed by the summary of the previously carried out experiments on cracking the shells. The experimental part describes the individual operations from the production of tested wax patterns to casting in the Boilercláv. The newly developed wax mixture is compared to the wax mixture used by the company Fimes. The experiments focus on the possibility of cracking the shells during the casting process and the dimensional stability of wax mixtures.
