Description
- This disclosure relates to manufacturing hollow components and, more particularly, to manufacturing a pattern for hollow components.
- In the lost wax casting process a wax pattern of a component is produced. The wax pattern is a replica of the component to the produced. Usually a number of wax patterns are assembled together on a wax gating tree to form a cluster or wax mold assembly. The wax mold assembly is immersed in a liquid ceramic slurry which quickly gels after draining, strengthening refractory granules are sprinkled over the ceramic slurry covered wax mold assembly and the refractory granules bond to the slurry coating to produce a ceramic layer on the wax mold assembly. This process is repeated several times to produce many ceramic layers on the wax mold assembly. The wax is then melted out leaving a ceramic shell mold having an internal cavity identical in shape to that of the original wax cluster. This ceramic shell mold is called an investment casting mold. The mold is fired at a high temperature to purify it by removing all traces of residual wax, while at the same time curing the ceramic shell mold. The ceramic shell mold is then transferred to a casting furnace, which may be operated at either vacuum conditions or at atmospheric conditions. A charge of molten metal is then poured into the ceramic shell mold and the mold is allowed to cool to room temperature, after which the ceramic shell mold is removed leaving the cast component or components.
- In the lost wax casting of hollow components, the wax patterns of the hollow components are produced by injecting wax into a pattern die which has one or more preformed ceramic cores located therein. The pattern die has shaped surfaces and the ceramic core is spaced from these shaped surfaces of the pattern die by supports, such as spacer supports, chaplets and the like, to ensure the correct thickness gap exists between the surfaces of the die and the ceramic core surfaces. Typically, the ceramic core has shaped projections which locate in correspondingly shaped apertures in the pattern die. The combination of the projections and the supports prevent the ceramic cores from moving longitudinally in the pattern die by a precisely positioned pin and slot arrangement.
- However, it is difficult to optimize the position of the ceramic cores relative to the pattern die surfaces due to the manufacturing tolerances of size and shape of the ceramic core and also because of distortions within the ceramic core making process. It is particularly difficult to optimize the certain surface features of the ceramic core relative to the pattern die surfaces due to the distortions of the ceramic core, because the relationship between these core surface features and the shaped projections of the ceramic core suffers the greatest dimensional variations. The larger the ceramic core the more pronounced is the distortion.
- The supports fitted to the core are positioned to ensure that the correct thickness of wax is achieved.
- However, where distortion is excessive the point load exerted onto the ceramic core by the supports actually strain the ceramic core while trying to correct the distorted shape against the restraint imposed by the shaped projections of the ceramic core locating in the corresponding shaped apertures in the pattern die. In the extreme case the strain is enough to fracture the brittle ceramic core thus scrapping the wax pattern. If the strain is insufficient to break the ceramic core, there is a residual strain imposed in the ceramic core which, when the wax is removed from the ceramic shell mold, causes the ceramic core to spring back to its free state and subsequently produces a cast turbine blade or turbine vane which has a thin wall section. With the complexity and level of detail in new components increasing, such methods are becoming less and less robust.
