The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
The company in which he is employed also deals with the manufacture of moulds. He will then compare the results with each other. The practical part will be carried out on the basis of a mould for gravity casting of a heat exchanger housing, which is currently being manufactured.
Solution and Method
The company in which he is employed also deals with the manufacture of moulds. Among other things, these are casting moulds for gravity, low-pressure and pressure casting of aluminium. We encounter a wide variety of ** engraving** forms which, due to their ** complex shapes, can present ** complications in ** mould manufacturing**.
At Talum d.d., they have therefore begun to investigate how they can improve their manufacturing technology, as this is the only way they can remain competitive in the market. We are aware that only with fast, cost-effective and, of course, high-quality manufacture of casting moulds can they be competitive in today's market. Over time, many different methods of manufacturing products have been developed. ** Specific engraving shapes** can limit us in the choice of manufacturing method.
Usually, we have to combine manufacturing methods. For example, we can add sink erosion to milling in order to obtain the desired shape of the product, as the complexity of engraving manufacture is so great that we cannot manufacture it exclusively by ** milling, or such a method of manufacture is not financially viable due to the purchase of expensive milling tools. The ** time aspect is also a problem when using only one manufacturing method, as this can be time-consuming.
In the thesis, he will investigate the financial aspect of different manufacturing methods and the actual manufacturing time when combining sink erosion and milling, as well as milling exclusively. He will also present the impact of machined surface quality on the quality requirements of products through quality analysis. He will also cover the possibility of manufacturing moulds using the 3D printing method, which is a relatively new manufacturing method.
Results
He will then compare the results with each other. The practical part will be carried out on the basis of a mould for gravity casting of a heat exchanger housing, which is currently being manufactured. The diploma thesis will also help us in future projects to make it easier to select the ** methodology** and can ** serve as a guide**.
Great attention will be required in this regard, as the thesis is designed for a specific case which in some instances may fail completely.
