The master thesis deals with design for casting mould of an impeller wheel for investment casting lost wax and machining technology with utilization CAD software SolidWorks 2008 and CAM software PowerMill 9. Subsequent verification of machining on vertical machining center MCV 1210. At the end, techno-economic evaluation is done.

The aim of thesis is to describe the basic methods called Rapid Prototyping in theory and using one of them to create master model. Master model will be used to create silicone mould where a limited series of wax models will be by means of vacuum casting chamber. They will also be used to make ceramic form in which the final pad will be cast from freely accessible materials. After processing it the suitability of the proposed technologies for the production of the part in question will be assessed.

Objective of diploma thesis is to proceed analysis of actual technology in operational terms for concrete casting of bearing . Constructed by foundry of steel ŽĎAS a.s., Žďár nad Sázavou. After designing changes in technological process accomplish detail evaluation of mechanical properties and chemical homogenity of metal at selected parts of sample casting.

The work deals with the occurrence of cracks and fissures in the massive steel castings produced in the ŽĎAS a.s. foundry which create in castings through the elimination of the extension. The influence on the final deoxidation on the creation of fissures and cracks is researched at the experimental samples. The beginning of the work is about teoretical analysis of these defects. Next it is described the place of the collection of these samples their chemical composition and cracks identification. After that it is evaluated the appearance of various defects in connection with modificatory and deoxidation additive, observation of experimental material with the microscope and the results of mechanical tests. The conclusion of the work belongs to sum up the individual results and proposal of optimal procedure.

This diploma thesis deals with the possibilities of optimization of ceramic shell molds in the method of investment casting. In the first part is mentioned a complete technological process of the method with focusing on production and quality control of the ceramic shell and components, from which it is produced. The experimental part is divided into two parts, in the first are results of laboratory tests, which were tested both the current ceramic shell and shells which have been considered as a possible replacement. In the second section were verified conclusions of the experimental findings and recommendations of the laboratory results in pilot plant conditions.

The aim of this work was to create an original and unique design of a door handles, which naturally fits into contemporary architectural space. Another goal was to create a project which could be realized in practice and would be successful in compares with mass produced handles.

The goal of this diploma thesis is to on a practical example, with use of the quality system, describe the current state of input casting inspection in Tribotec Ltd. and output casting inspection of casting suppliers in this company and to suggest a new way of output casting inspection on Tribotec Ltd. with higher quality of spoilage rate survey of supplying casting already at the input inspection stage.

The project elaborated in scope of engineering studies branch 2307. The project is submitting design of production technology of car emblem. Different manufacturing technologies have been compared based on study of technical literature. Most suitable technologies have been chosen such as pressure die casting, especially aluminum alloys and plastic injection molding. Plastic part is metal plated afterwards in order to get desired metal look. Part of this project is injection molding tool design inclusive technical, technological and economic analysis.

The work deals with the determination of the chemical composition and morphology of inclusions in experimental casting foundry in operating conditions as ŽĎAS in compliance with the optimum content appropriate deoxidation depending on the conditions of solidification. The introductory part is devoted to theoretical analysis of possible defects in castings. We also describe the experimental casting, sampling sites and their markings. Subsequently evaluated morphology microanalysis inclusions and the effect of inclusions on the mechanical properties and the formation of defects in the casting. The conclusion summarizes the results and proposal for further direction in the production of heavy steel castings.

In this thesis an equation of heat conduction including phase and structural changes is derived, involving various boundary conditions. It seems to be the most suitable to calculate the equation by enthalpy method. In this equation not only enthalpy occurs, but also the temperature, and in consequence the relationship between these variables is quite complicated. In this paper I use the values measured or calculated using solidifcation models. The calculation is implemented in Matlab Simulink, which is a very popular blocks scheme in common practice of regulation. The calculation is based on steady state set up with help of experts and as a result, the program could be put into practice. The program calculates the intensity of cooling according to the initial casting speed, casting inlet temperature and the desired temperature curves. The rate of inuence of cooling can be changed according to the given criteria. The thesis compares the surface temperatures and cooling in the case of a predictive controller is or is not applied in the program.
