FILLING SIMULATION OF SILICONE RUBBER MOLD WITH WAX IN CASE OF GRAVITATIONAL CASTING

Nicolae PANC, Sever Adrian RADU, Alina Luca

Abstract


The present paper expose the benefits of filling and flow process simulation of silicone rubber mold with easily fusible material. Thus, since design stage can minimize defects that can appear on wax patterns if one takes into account the results obtained from simulations with software specialized to solve flow problems.

Key words: investment casting, wax patterns, fluid dynamics simulation
