Abstract:
The theoretical aspects and practical findings of the development and commercial implementation of new engineering processes for making art castings of nonferrous alloys are presented. The castings weigh from 0. 1 to 100 kg and reach 1. 5 m in size. They are cast into bulk filler molds of pouring mixtures based on gypsum and cement binders and can be produced individually and in batches. © 2011 Allerton Press, Inc.
