Hello Mr Kelly. I have been seeing yours videos and they are very interesting. However, yours patterns are made by CNC or for expansion process too?
@kellycoffield533
@kellycoffield533 12 күн бұрын
For the last several years, all of my patterns have been machined on a hobby grade CNC Router from rigid extruded polystyrene (XPS) board. Prior to that they were manually machined and/or hot wired. IMO, molding the Lost Foam patterns is impractical for one offs or small hobby quantities because of the effort required to make the mold, and poor availability and very short shelf life of pre-expanded bead stock. If it was a higher production setting molded patterns would be the preferred process. Best, Kelly

It was from 6 years ago when I was doing my own LF process development on pour temps and corresponding travel distance in sand molds. The traditional standard foundry fluidity test is the distance traveled along a spiral path for a given alloy and pour temp. It was made for discussion for a thread on the THF casting forum and before I was making videos for public consumption. I should go back and make those all private vids but that would make those forum threads useless and I have more regard for the forum mermbers than KZfaqrs that would make such remarks before trying to undertsand their purpose.

@kellycoffield533 20 күн бұрын
I've worked very hard at that. It's a combination of casting and feed system design, proper permeability of the refractory coating, and pouring cup design. Most of my castings have high surface area/volume which is also helpful. Yes, other alloys are possible too with lost foam including iron. Best, Kelly

Absolutely amazing. Although cooling goes down if your fins are too close together. Unless you use active forced air cooling. You can download the charts on it. It's the same way with heat sinks. They have to be a certain distance apart if you're not using a pressure fan. You need good air pressure if you put your fins too close together.

High precision castings they coat a lost wax pattern in plaster and sand then melt the wax. Every thing is a tradeoff but a finished part that doesnt need more done to it after is probably worth the extra steps before hand.
@chrisdunham7169
@chrisdunham7169 23 күн бұрын
Thanks for putting up this one, very interesting. This is a little information that I hope you will find helpful. In order for cooling fins to operate effectively they need to have a taper from the base to the tip and the shape of the tip and base (and the angle of taper to a lesser extent) are quite critical. There are a number of excellent research papers available online which describe the dynamics of heat risers / dams in cooling fins. In short - heat will not travel up the fin and dissipate at the tip in a flow (not dissimilar to a stream flowing ) and transfer to the air stream without the appropriate taper. The second issue is that of harmonic vibration. Everything vibrates and more especially in an internal combustion engine in operation there is considerable vibration. Parallel fins without taper will break off sooner or later. I found this out the hard way and before I became aware of the complexity of cooling fins. Keep at it, I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to more of your foam casting videos.

Over the years I've made a lot of gaskets using a LASER engraver setup. And even some with what looked burnt on the edges after being cut out worked perfectly. Another idea is to either take the old gasket, or the part that it is going to fit one, if you can, and use a scanner to copy the gasket surface needing a gasket and transfer that to the LASER engraver to cut a new gasket out. Some times you have to get creative... Thumbs Up!
