Hello everyone, I am a student at the iii year of mechanical engineering and this is my first message on this forum
I would like to ask you to give me a hand with the exercise that I uploaded as an attachment to this message: I must indicate the most suitable melting process for the specified piece.
I propose my solution here later but I am aware that it will probably be wrong being only at the beginning in the study of mechanical technology. I thank those who will have the patience to help me with this exercise :3513:
possibility 1 : fusion in green ground. Although it would be the cheapest solution I think it is to be discarded as it would not guarantee a good roughness on the passing hole that, due to its geometry, is not easily finished (on this motivation I am a little uncertain)
possibility 2: coldbox process; the problem should be the same as the previous point.
possibility 3: shell moulding (coated in shell). seems to me the most suitable process because it allows to obtain good tolerances and roughness on the inner hole sufficiently low. you get components that as in this case can have thin sections. the cost of the mold for the models is high but if the production is quite wide and durable the costs are amortised thanks to the low energy costs and especially to the fact that this process will not need successive processes of finishing particularly important (reduction times=reduction costs).
possibility 4: use a model to lose in polystyrene or a lost wax process; I think it is preferable to have a polystyrene model as it costs less.
possibility 5: process with permanent form; it is not applicable because the bronze is not basphoning (it is not copper; bronze = solid solution copper+wood) and then would have high costs.
possibility 6: die-cast. It seems to me a discreet solution but of costs greater than 3.
I would therefore choose the possibility number 3: fusion in shell or shell moulding.
