Influence of process parameters on castability at full mold casting

Abstract

This paper examines the effect of the temperature of pouring the melt, the density of the model of foamed polystyrene and the casting with or without a vent on castability. The testing was carried out in accordance with the experiment plan 23 i.e. during testing the value of the parameters of influence was changed at two levels: the melt pouring temperature of 640 °C and 600 °C, casting with or without a vent, and the density of foamed polystyrene model of 15 kg/m3 and 30 kg/m3.
