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.

Actual trends in manufacture of permanent patterns
Benda, Tomáš ; Mikulka, Vít (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is to create an overview of different methods for making permanent models. According to the type of materials the models are divided into the wooden, the metallic, the plastic and the models made from the resin. Further, certain methods Rapid prototyping are described here. The thesis is completed with visual documentation.

Possibilities of using numerical simulations in investment casting technology
Čagánek, Radim ; Cileček, Jarmil (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the possibilities of using numerical simulation in investment casting technology. The first chapter of practical part deals with the use of simulations in the design of gating system for the shape-complex casting. At the same time, the practical part verified the accuracy of the simulation by test castings on which the X- ray inspection was performed. The results showed that the occurrence of internal defects predicted by simulation corresponded to the locations in the test casts. Next part of the thesis describes improvement of the use of liquid metal (so called “yield”) by numerical simulations. Two specific castings were chosen to perform simulation of current and newly designed variant of the gating system.

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.

Actual trends in manufacturing of ceramic shell moulds
Jankůj, Luděk ; Soukupová, Lucie (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
Final thesis deals with the properties and production of ceramic shell moulds for investment casting method. Literature search focuses on the core of the production this mould used for ceramic and refractory slurry spreading. Attention is also paid to the technology of its production, testing ceramic shell mould and defects caused by improper manufacturing process forms. Another part of the work is focused on current trends in the production of ceramic shell moulds. The last part describes the production of ceramic shell mould in the company Česká zbrojovka. The conclusion summarizes information of production and the recommended choice of materials and manufacturing processes for ceramic shell moulds for the issue.
