Thesis (MTech (Mechanical Engineering))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2010. / The research presented in this report focuses on Investment Casting capabilities for light metal alloys in South Africa and forms part of the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Strategy's (AMTS): Light Weight Metals flagship programme. The research is centred on the suitability of rapid prototyping (RP)/Iayer manufacturing (LM) methods to produce patterns for the investment casting of aluminium (AI), magnesium (Mg) and titanium (Ti) alloys, together known as Rapid Investment Casting. Three core RP technologies are investigated namely: Three Dimensional Printing - Drop-on-Bed from Z-corporation, Three Dimensional Printing - Drop-on- Drop from ThermoJet - 3D Systems and Selective Laser Sintering from EOS. Various RP/LM processes are discussed in detail and highlight the technologies selected in this study. A standard benchmark part, adapted from the European project framework FP6, designed and utilised in similar studies is used as the basis for the research. The Investment Casting process is discussed fully and compared to the Rapid Investment Casting, listing both the advantages and disadvantages of the above mentioned methods. In addition a special study has been conducted on investment casting of large components using layer manufactured patterns. This study not only helped to establish and validate the shrinkage value calculated for the aluminium castings but also showed substantial capability lacks in SA foundries to handle this type of components, which are by definition most often of high added value.

This master thesis had been created at the instigation of Skoda Auto. a.s. tool design department, which designed a new concept of the diecast mold. For this new concept of construction mold was requested to describe its strain-stress behaviour. The main goal of this thesis was to run s-s analysis. According to results of s-s analysis the potentially risky location had been found and the recommendation of the design improvement had been made. The problem has been solved by Finite Element Method in software ANSYS Workbench. The output of the work is mainly used as a basis for the design of high-pressure casting molds of S. A. a.s.

This diploma thesis deals with the technology of high pressure die casting and especially influences having effect on their final quality. The aim of this thesis is to design the measures to convert casting of the cylinder for chainsaw into the serial production. The thesis contains a description of the production of castings by technology of high pressure die casting, theoretical analysis of the factors with effects on their final quality and practical description of the conversion casting of cylinder for chainsaw into the serial production. The problem of converting to serial production has been solved by several samplings and final test series. Part of each sampling is analysis of defects and design of measures leading to elimination or at least minimization of such defects. On the basis of the production process has been successfully optimized and casting of the cylinder for chainsaw was successfully converted into the serial production. The results of this work also allowed for a smooth conversion into the serial production of another type of cylinder, manufactured by company MOTOR JIKOV.
