| dc.description | Investment casting (IC), also known as lost wax casting, has evolved from a specialized technique in the mid-20th century into a globally significant manufacturing method, particularly for applications requiring high dimensional accuracy and complex geometries (Lehmhus, 2022). Among various casting methods, such as sand casting, die casting, and centrifugal casting, investment casting stands out for its ability to produce components with exceptional dimensional precision, intricate details, near-net shapes, and minimal post-processing (Dejene et al., 2023). A classic example is the production of turbine blades in aerospace engines, where complex cooling channels and aerodynamic profiles demand the precision and repeatability that IC provides (Dong et al., 2024). | |
| dc.description.abstract | Mould cracking and dewaxing time are among the most critical issues affecting the economic efficiency of investment casting (IC), as they increase the likelihood of rework, costs, and production time. Despite numerous attempts to address these constraints, balancing production speed with economic performance in modern investment casting remains an ongoing challenge. Therefore, there is a pressing need to make appropriate modifications to the mould, wax, and heating methods to address these issues. This study aims to investigate the effects of silicon carbide (SiC) addition on dewaxing time and the dielectric, physical, thermal, and mechanical properties of the mould in two different waxes under microwave hybrid heating | |
