Abstract

Language:

This paper presents research results in the field of casting technology of copper and copper alloys using the investment casting technology, both from historical as well as modern technology perspectives. The analysis of exemplary elements of the old casting moulds is included, as well as the Bronze Age casts. The chemical content of various copper alloys was determined and the application of lost wax method was confirmed in the Bronze Age workshop. At present, the investment casting method is used for manufacturing high-quality casts, especially products for power engineering, which demand very rigorous technological requirements. The casts were characterized based on microstructure research, chemical composition, and conductivity in relation to oxygen content.
