  • Patent number: 10953460
    Abstract: Various embodiments of making an investment casting mold are disclosed. The method includes coating a sacrificial pattern with a prime layer that includes a first refractory slurry and a first refractory stucco; at least partially hardening the prime layer; and coating the prime layer with an intermediate layer that includes a second refractory slurry and a second refractory stucco. The method further includes at least partially hardening the intermediate layer; coating the intermediate layer with a first backup layer that includes a first thixotropic agent, the first thixotropic agent including a first polymer emulsion; coating the first backup layer with a second backup layer that includes a second thixotropic agent, the second thixotropic agent including a second polymer emulsion; and at least partially hardening the first backup layer and the second backup layer.

    Assignee: OXFORD UNIVERSITY INNOVATION LIMITED
    Inventors: Luet Lok Wong, Stephen Graham Bell, Christopher Whitehouse
  • Publication number: 20170043390
    Abstract: Provided are slurry compositions and methods for producing investment casting molds. These compositions include a refractory material, a binder, a solvent, and a thixotropic agent comprising a polymer emulsion. Implementation of these slurry compositions enables a reduction in the number of backup layers in an investment casting shell, while retaining similar viscosity characteristics and similar or greater strength characteristics in the finished investment mold.
