Influence of raw materials to the final quality of aluminium investment castings
Macko, Martin ; Vašťák, Patrik (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
The purpose of this thesis is to assess the current state of production of ceramic shells in MESIT Foundry, a.s. and optimize it. The shells are evaluated in terms of their bending strength, gas permeability and microstructure. Subsequently, castings produced using the shells are evaluated with regard to number of non-conforming products and presence of defects. The final part seeks to compare different shells and outlines a possible new approach to the development of ceramic shells.

Optimizing the ceramic tree mould taking into account the robotic shelling system
Petřík, Michal ; Šmatelka, František (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the optimization of the design pattern assembly for robot shell making system. Six types of castings were selected for optimization in regard to increase the utilization of liquid metal. The individual castings are described in the chapters and in the subchapters are described the original design pattern assembly intended for manual shell making, the designed pattern assembly shell making system with subsequent evaluation for the use of molten metal yield. The following chapters described the benefits of changing the pattern assembly design, the defects caused by this change and recommendations that should rule out the possible occurrence of these defects. The last chapter deals with a modified plate weight test, which was created directly for the conditions of the company Alucast s.r.o., where the practical part was solved.

Optimization of wax pattern technology in the company Alucast
Šmatelka, Jakub ; Cileček, Jarmil (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the problem of wax patterns manufacturing in investment casting technology (lost wax process). This technology is very sensitive to the exact execution in each phase of the whole process, from concept design up to the final casting expedition. During most operations, dimensional changes occur, which is affecting the accuracy of the final casting. No matter how big these changes are, but especially if they occur with the least variance. One of the first phases in this technology is making wax patterns. There are several ways of making the wax patterns and this thesis is describing two different methods used in the Alucast foundry. One is based on using “soft waxes” enabling using low pressure machines, the other one on the “hard waxes” where the injection machine with higher presses is being used (SOM). These two above mentioned technologies are compared in this work.

Optimized manufacturing of aluminium castings by using lost wax technology
Talanda, Ivan ; Horenský, Jiří (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
Aim of this diploma thesis is to choose new pattern wax for Fimes a.s. foundry. New wax should substitute old not fully satisfactory pattern wax which caused problems in technological process resulting in increased number of rejects. New pattern wax should eliminate current problems and help foundry with producing large, thin-walled, high-quality castings. Numbers of pattern waxes supplied by world’s leading wax manufacturers were subjected to laboratory tests and pilot study. This diploma thesis is part of project Alfa TA01010766: „Research and development of production technology large, thin and high quality castings of aluminium alloys “

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.
