Abstract: | The Model Wax for the Precision Metal Castings After a short review of the history and the technique of precision metal casting on lost model waxes, the requisite properties of such waxes are given in details. The sum of all these properties can be achieved only by mixing different types of waxes with one another or by combination with other substances. At the same time, the molecular structure of the waxes also plays an important role. The relation between this and the shrinkage is shown by means of experimental investigations on a number of examples. |
