Anybody have any resources on how to design gating/runner etc for casting embedded pipes? Similar to how they do copper tubing in Al for refrigerators but I couldn't find any resources on that. Need some guidelines/resources on how this might turn out and watch to watch for.
I'm a new engineer starting a role at a casting company. I'm interested in primarily investment casting. I have both of these textbooks on hand but only have time to read one of them. Which textbook would you guys recommend I read first?
Thanks
arunmrao,
Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out, looks like a good place to build my fundamentals. The book looks like its a bit old (1967). I'm particularly interested in 3D printing for wax patterns. Any other textbooks you know that go a bit into that?
drawoh,
I will be doing the investment casting on the manufacturing side, not designing for it. I'm new to casting, was looking for technical resources to go over gating etc. Excellent book you linked by the way, I just purchased a hard copy myself.
Thanks
Best technical textbooks on casting (specifically investment casting)? I'm looking for a good technical textbooks on casting in general, but I'm specifically interested in investment casting using ceramics for metals such as steel. But I'm open to any general book on casting design
Edit: Thanks! :)
