![]() There are several procedures involved in the investment casting process.ġ. Also, the auxiliary materials are expensive, so investment casting is more suitable for manufacturing products with complex shapes, high precision requirements, and difficulties of being machined, such as turbine engine blades, etc. The process is complicated and not easy to control. We can usually change one product during the production procedures, which is combined initially from several parts, into a single piece that we can make it out entirely via the investment casting process to save more time and raw materials. The minimum diameter of the hole that we can cast out directly reaches as small as 0.5mm, and the minimum wall thickness can reach 0.3mm. Generally, the lost wax investment casting process suits products with complex shapes better. And when we use a wax pattern for the casting, investment casting is also known as a lost wax casting process. The investment casting process is a kind of metal forming technology with a very long history. So, what is a lost wax investment casting process? Clean the cast iron parts and remove the extra materials like the gates and flashes via cutting and grinding processes Break the sand mold and separate the iron part apart from the sand after the iron get cooledĦ. Cast the molten iron into the mold cavity via the gating systemĥ. Put the sand into the flask, and remove the pattern after the sand get compacted, to make the sand casting moldĤ. Place the pattern into the flask and form the cast gating systemģ. ![]() Make the pattern of the casting part, and we can call it Mold-making StepĢ. There are several procedures involved in the whole sand casting process:ġ. And an iron foundry is a factory where we can produce cast iron products, usually, proceed with a sand casting process. It has been a fundamental process in the casting field for a long time. ![]() Due to the low cost and easy availability of the molding materials, both small batch and mass production can go with the sand casting process. We can manufacture steel, iron, and most non-ferrous alloy products with a sand casting process. Sand casting, or we can call it sand mold casting, is a casting method that uses sand to make a mold to produce castings. And we will continue to welcome your inquiry anytime and anywhere. We pride ourselves on handling any job, delivering on time, and guaranteeing the highest level of quality. And depending on such manufacturing capabilities, Sinoway company can meet our customers’ fabricating requirements for a wide variety of one-stop metal products, saving time and money for both of us.Īlong with time going, Sinoway has got more and more recognition and praise from our customers. Furthermore, along with the expanding service fields, we have developed other production lines, such as sheet metal fabricating, forging, machining, welding, and surface treatment, to manufacture various metal products. Till now, our casting processes have covered sand casting, shell mold casting, lost wax investment casting, lost foam casting, and die casting. ![]() Since the 1990s, Sinoway has established production lines to manufacture metal parts with the diverse metal casting process.

The fantastical elements are excellently integrated into the story, and the action scenes are truly remarkable. Josh: Princess Mononoke – Lot of good choices here, and while I’m tempted to choose something older that I’ve seen many times, like WALL-E, I’m going with Princess Mononoke, a truly expansive, intelligent, and mature war film that also happens to be animated. The only thing that changes in Ginny’s life for the better from the start of the film to the end is that at the end of the film she has the Christmas spirit, i.e. I love it for exactly the same reasons that Josh dislikes it, for not waving a magic wand and saving the day. Mike: One Magic Christmas – My favourite Christmas film of all time is a mixture of It’s a Wonderful Life and the spirit behind the “ Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Claus” editorial. Gabe: Bambi – One of my favorites of all time. The film is a haunting elegy about a core struggle of humanity.įavourite film we watched for the podcast (old or new) Josh: The Master – The Master may not be the film some people expect or want its effect is such that it proves why we should kick our expectations to the curb, though. Mike: Wreck-It Ralph – At the heart of Wreck-It Ralph is a Taoist parable about the usefulness of uselessness that adds unexpected depth to what at first blush could appear to be a simple, funny animated film trading on nostalgia for old video games. The film starts with the Gettysburg Address and finishes with Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address begins in war and ends in peace opens with a sleepy Tad Lincoln clutching his father and closes with a grieving Tad clamped to a theatre railing. Mike: Lincoln – The genius of Lincoln begins with its script, constructed like a series of ellipses. Josh: Frankenweenie – Much of the look, feel, and design of Frankenweenie will remind many people why they flocked to the films of Tim Burton in the first place. To mark the end of 2012 and a year of the Mousterpiece Cinema Podcast on Sound on Sight, Josh, Gabe and I thought that we should talk a little about our favourite films and moments from 2012. podcast, I said that it would be up at the same time.) As an example, I am getting this column done largely because when we recorded the Monsters Inc. (On a more personal note, doing the podcast more or less 3 weeks out of every 4, has forced me to be more consistent in my writing – to write for the site more often and more regularly and this, in turn, has made me a better writer and I am very grateful to Josh for the incentive and the example. And if you don’t like the podcast, direct all complaints to Josh! ![]() So if you like the Mousterpiece Cinema podcast, Gabe and I are quite willing to steal the credit, but we would be stealing the credit from Josh. ![]() We show up on Skype, flap our jaws and let Josh do the rest. What makes it work for both Gabe and I, is that Josh does ALL the work. I first joined Josh on the 2nd podcast of 2012 about The Mighty Ducks to test if we would work well together and we immediately clicked clashed over Josh’s pro-mouse, anti-duck bias which has become one of the podcast’s running gags. I volunteered to be a more regular co-host, taking the opportunity of Gabe being around to boycott films I had no interest in watching or re-watching like say the Disney Direct to Video Sequels, Midquels and Prequels, or films I couldn’t get my hands on, or allow me to take a week off to tend to my job at the YoungCuts Film Festival. Since Gabe actually works in Hollywood (an experience he discussed during the podcast on the cinematic atrocity Disney Animated classic Fox and the Hound 2) he is not regularly available to do the podcast. One of Ricky D‘s constructive criticisms for Josh on joining the site was that his best podcasts were the ones where he was joined by a guest like Gabriel Bucsko for their podcast on The Muppets film. Josh brought his Mousterpiece Cinema podcast to Sound on Sight this time last year, starting by reposting his older podcasts beginning with his very first podcast about Cars 2. ![]() ![]() ![]() This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 4.0 Unported License.

Furthermore, human error and variability can contribute to inaccurate readings and low test precision. It also is important to note that this test is extremely laborintensive and expensive. In addition, agglomerated particles, particle coincidence (excessively high particle counts that prevent accurate detection by the instrument), sometimes emulsified water and even air bubbles can contribute to false readings. There is, however, no precision statement for the test, so the accuracy of the measurements is unknown. ![]() The Filter & Count Method is considered to be the most accurate method of particle counting because the test is not normally affected by fluid color, air or water. After the sample has passed through the filter, the particles on the filter patch are counted and measured under a microscope. Oil samples pass through a fine-patch filter that captures particles that are greater than four microns (> 4μ) in size. Particle counting using the Filter & Count Method is conducted exactly how it sounds. Thus, the results of these tests were used as the foundation for the discoveries detailed in this article. The Filter & Count (ISO 4407) and Light Blockage or Extinction (ISO 11500) tests are the most widely used methods of particle counting. Oil cleanliness is typically determined by particle counting. To this end, maintenance professionals are implementing oil analysis programs with the desire to gain accurate readings on the cleanliness of their oil to support oil suitability decisions. ![]() There are a number of factors that can impact a lubricant’s cleanliness, most notably contamination and harsh operating conditions, such as extremely high temperatures, pressures and operating speeds. Oil cleanliness can be defined as a measure of the level of dirt, other insoluble or hard particles in fresh or in-service oil. Maintenance professionals can then make better oil suitability decisions, garner a stronger return on their lubricant investment and enhance their equipment performance. But, by incorporating innovative methods to address sources of errors- including air entrainment, water content, and additive effects-particle counting precision and accuracy can be greatly improved. Today’s most commonly used particle counting tests for determining oil cleanliness-Filter & Count Method Light Blockage Method-too often yield inaccurate and inconsistent results.Īs detailed in this article, the inconsistency and lack of precision with these current practices can lead companies to waste considerable amounts of money and time developing maintenance plans based on inaccurate and unreliable information. There is, however, something that many of them do not know. It’s no mystery to Maintenance professionals that clean oil promotes enhanced equipment performance and reliability. That can cost your company considerably in tearms of time and money. Inaccurate, unreliable partical counting can hamper your ability to make smart oil suitability decisions. ![]() |
