Benchmarking Permeability of Investment Casting Shell Molds
Things. Different mold materials (using zirconium sand, aluminum silicate and fused silica) that are used in shell mold making for high-valued segments have been tested for establishing benchmark values of permeability. These val-ues of permeability were observed in the range of 8 9 10-11–37 9 10-11 cm2 to achieve better quality shells as
