THE SIMULATION OF WAX SOLIDIFICATION PROCESS IN SILICONE RUBER MOLD

Nicolae PANC, Sever Adrian RADU, Ancuta PACURAR

Abstract


The present paper expose the benefits of wax solidification process simulation in silicone rubber mold. The metal parts defects obtained by investment casting depend, in proportion of 60%, on wax model defects and the study of wax models solidification is a practical utility. The possibility to control and to conduct the cast wax solidification leads to obtaining high quality wax models.

 Key words: silicone rubber mold, heat transfer simulation, wax pattern
