New research to improve prediction of investment casting process.Predicting physical changes that occur in the wax pattern, shell and solidifying metal during investment casting investment casting Precision casting for forming metal shapes with minutely precise details. Casting bronze or precious metals typically involves several steps, including forming a mold around the sculptured form; detaching the mold (in two or more sections); coating its could soon be possible according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. results from a collaborative research project in which the AFS A distributed file system for large, widely dispersed Unix and Windows networks from Transarc Corporation, now part of IBM. It is noted for its ease of administration and expandability and stems from Carnegie-Mellon's Andrew File System. AFS - Andrew File System 4-L Investment Casting Committee and Procast incorporated a visco-elastic code developed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratories (ORNL ORNL Oak Ridge National Laboratory ). To further explore this potential, the AFS Research Board approved additional funding to determine how precise input parameters will need to be in order to produce an accurate prediction of final dimensions. The collaborative project is being guided by AFS Div. 4-L, the Edison Materials Technology Center and ORNL, with the support of the DOE's Energy-SMARRT program managed by the Advanced Technology Institute.
