Manufacture of Artistic Castings
Janošťák, Jan ; Staňková, Markéta (referee) ; Mikulka, Vít (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis is focused on types of casting methods, which are or were used for the production of art objects. Chronological cross-section through history of art casting is made at first, which is followed by an analysis of the most common methods and techniques leading to the production of art castings. The following practical part of the bachelor’s thesis concerns itself with the production of a simple art casting. The lost-wax process was used for its fabrication.

Optimized ceramic shell for manufacturing of aluminium castings by using lost wax technology
Mazůrek, Tomáš ; Vašťák, Patrik (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the possibilities of optimization of ceramic shell molds in the method of investment casting. In the first part is mentioned a complete technological process of the method with focusing on production and quality control of the ceramic shell and components, from which it is produced. The experimental part is divided into two parts, in the first are results of laboratory tests, which were tested both the current ceramic shell and shells which have been considered as a possible replacement. In the second section were verified conclusions of the experimental findings and recommendations of the laboratory results in pilot plant conditions.

Investment casting - defects list
Šmatelka, Jakub ; Staňková, Markéta (referee) ; Mikulka, Vít (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with defects which can occurred during investment casting process. In the first part, there is briefly described investment casting process in Alucast s.r.o. company. List of all defects occurring during manufacture is described in the second part. This catalog includes majority of defects from the cast proposal to finishing operations. There are also described causes, consequences and corrective actions.

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.

Production of real component by lost wax casting technology
Remeš, David ; Kolář, Ladislav (referee) ; Jaroš, Aleš (advisor)
This thesis deals with the real production of component by using investment casting technology. The thesis describes characteristics of investment casting technology, subsequently construction of 3D component, production of silicone mould, production of wax (plastic) of the model component. At the end of the work is provided technical and economic evaluation.

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.
