摘要

Investment casting shell moulds are widely applied to cast alloys, but how to efficiently form a hierarchical porous structure inside the wall is an innovation and challenge. In this research, porous shell moulds with three infill patterns (rectilinear, grid, and honeycomb) were prepared using bauxite slurry and slurry extrusion-based additive manufacturing technology, and the effects of infill patterns on the properties were evaluated. The hierarchical pores inside the wall are composed of the macropores formed by infills and the micropores among bauxite particles. Different infill patterns result in changes in distribution and shape of pores, thereby affecting the properties of the shell moulds. The honeycomb pattern has more comprehensive advantages compared to the other two infill patterns. The samples prepared with the honeycomb pattern exhibit the highest bending strength (11.62 MPa) and porosity (41.6%), as well as good heat-transfer ability, with an average shrinkage rate within 2.0%. This work provides an attractive feasibility for fabricating shell moulds with hierarchical porous walls.
