Fabrication of silica-based ceramic cores with internal lattice structures by stereolithography
Ceramic cores are widely used in investment casting, and ideal properties of cores are essential for high-quality castings. Under the circumstances requiring thick cores, solid cores are likely to encounter de...

Effect of SiO2 concentration in silica sol on interface reaction during titanium alloy investment casting
Using silica sol as a binder for titanium investment casting is very attractive due to its good stability and reasonable cost as compared with yttrium sol and zirconium sol. However, the mechanism of interface...
