Optimization of wax pattern technology in the company Fimes
Žuja, Jaroslav ; Vašťák, Patrik (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
This thesis is to evaluate currently used wax and compare its properties with of newly purchased one. Further, it is to evaluate whether the quality is reflected by using "boiled wax'', which is being used as a runner wax. All tests were carried out at the Fimes a. s. In the first part of this thesis, there is a brief description of the lost wax method. This is followed by a decription of wax blends from technology point of view. The experimental part describes the operations from the production of wax patterns, through their dimensional inspection, up until dewaxing process. All the results are noted and compared.

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.

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.

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.

Investment casting technology - overview of cast materials
Ostratický, Marek ; Mikulka, Vít (referee) ; Soukupová, Lucie (advisor)
The bachelor´s thesis deals with investment casting technology and overview of cast materials. In fist section deals with production. From the wax model, applying and curing the shell up to the actual casting and finishing operations. The second part is often drawn up a general overview of cast materials, which includes ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The aim is to develop research describing investment casting method with a general overview of cast materials. A summary of their properties and their use in practice.

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.

Present state of investment casting technology
Žuja, Jaroslav ; Vašťák, Patrik (referee) ; Horáček, Milan (advisor)
This thesis discusses the current methods and innovative technologies for lost wax model. The work also describes the literature search in currently used methods and also offers real insight into the future, using new methods. In the beginning is briefly discussed the history of the method, then new possibilities for technology testing and structures of wax blends and their properties. And finally, there are given opportunities and goals for the next innovation methods.
