Optimal design of high-strength water-soluble sand core for investment casting system: Thermodynamic analysis and experimental verification

The water-soluble sand cores (WSC-sand) used in the investment casting of complex three-dimensional metal parts are highly susceptible to casting defects. Our objective in this study was to optimize the fabrication process for a novel high-strength WSC-sand comprising magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) compo...
