Possibilities of using modern methods in manufacturing of prototype castings
Šmíd, Jiří ; Horenský, Jiří (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
The introduction part of the thesis focuses on the overview of rapid prototyping in foundry industry. Principles of the most important RP methods are described and the FDM method is analyzed in more detail. This method was used in the practical part for the production of wax patterns with silicone moulds. The wax patterns were used for the production of castings using the lost wax method. The result of this work is determination of dimensional changes during the whole process of casting manufacture from the drawing to the final casting.

"Optimizing the Al casting heat treatment"
Ostrézí, Barbora ; Cileček, Jarmil (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
This master’s thesis focuses on the heat treatment of the aluminium alloy AlSi7Mg0,6 and also investigates the effects of different coolants usage on its mechanical properties. First part is dedicated to the description of aluminium alloys, their chemical composition, behaviour and mechanical properties with particular attention to the Al-Si-Mg alloys. This part was followed by the summary of commonly used heat treatment of aluminium alloys. The third part is dedicated to the experiment. Castings and test specimens were wax casted at Alucast, s.r.o. company. After annealing, the samples were quickly cooled down in four different coolants and underwent tensile testing. Their mechanical properties (tensile strength, yield point and ductility) were evaluated as well as microstructure. In the last part, the achieved results are presented.

Foundry technologies from the point of view of castings accuracy
Hýbal, Ondřej ; Vašťák, Patrik (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis deals with various casting technologies, specifically about investment casting technology, evaporative-pattern casting and die casting. These technologies compares not only on achieving the smallest dimensional tolerances of the final casts, but also of other factors such as surface roughness, wall thickness and production economics. This thesis also describes casting accuracy in general and informs about the management strategy of Six Sigma.

Survey of applications of investment casting from ferrous alloys and super-alloys
Smilovský, David ; Zemčík, Ladislav (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
A content of this thesis is a survey of casting applications from specific alloys manufactured by investment casting. Thesis shows basic principles of investment casting method, its possibilities and advantages. It also lists a short metallurgical description of ferrous alloys a superalloys cast by this method. The main aim is on specific industrial branches, where these precise castings are used. There are specific applications of parts presented from various Czech and foreign foundries.

Development of ceramic shell for manufacturing of large Al investment castings
Hýbal, Ondřej ; Šmatelka, Jakub (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the choice of the most suitable composition of a ceramic shell mold for aluminum castings made by investment casting technology. The most suitable composition of the ceramic shells is chosen based on the results of the tests and from economic point of view. This thesis also deals with evaluation of the current conditions of the production of ceramic shells in Alucast, s.r.o and recommendations for stabilizing the process of manufacturing ceramic shell molds.

Possibilities of using filtration in lost wax technology
Boček, Vítězslav ; Soukupová, Lucie (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
Final thesis, elaborated within the bachelor study field of Manufacturing technology, deals with literary analysis of using filtration in lost wax technology and with designing of best gating system for those filters. As result of this thesis the best criteria for choosing the best filter for aplication in lost wax casting and literary study maping possibilities of locating those filters in gating system was compiled.

Modification of ceramic shells to increase its break up after casting process
Škriečková, Natália ; Horáček, Milan (referee) ; Krutiš, Vladimír (advisor)
This master´s thesis deals with the problem of the disintegration of shell moulds after casting. Too high residual strength increases the cost of operations associated with the final cleaning of castings. The aim was to analyze the current state of the art and to optimize the production of moulds in MoraviaTech a.s. so that the removal of the ceramic shell after casting is easier. In the first part, a literature analysis of the influences that could have a positive effect on the speed of shell removal is made. In the practical part, experiments are conducted comparing the amount of shell removed as a function of time between modified ceramic shells and shells produced by the company. In the last part, the results of the individual measurements are evaluated and conclusions and recommendations for MoraviaTech a.s. are drawn from them.

Present state of investment casting technology
Ostrézí, Barbora ; Vašťák, Patrik (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focusing on production of lost wax pattern and monitoring of the latest trends in this area. Thesis describes procedures of production from mother die, types of used waxes, production of ceramic shell, de-waxing and shell firing, production and using ceramic cores, removal of ceramic shell and finishing operations. The goal of this thesis is to formulate literature search dedicated to overview of presently used technologies and also the latest raw materials used in this technology.
