Molds are fabricated having a substrate of high density, high strength ultrafine grained isotropic graphite, and having a mold cavity coated with pyrolytic graphite. The molds may be made by making the substrate (main body) of high density, high strength ultrafine grained isotropic graphite, by, for example, isostatic or vibrational molding, machining the substrate to form the mold cavity, and ...

Light - Light - Reflection and refraction: Light rays change direction when they reflect off a surface, move from one transparent medium into another, or travel through a medium whose composition is continuously changing. The law of reflection states that, on reflection from a smooth surface, the angle of the reflected ray is equal to the angle of the incident ray.

Mar 28, 2015· Abstract. Many of surface defects in casting are caused by interaction of the metal with the molding sand. These phenomena occurring on the mold/cast interface can be divided into three groups: metal penetration (mechanical, chemical, vapor state, water explosion penetration and eutectic exudation penetration); transition of elements from the molding sand into casting and from the casting …

Apr 01, 2000· In thinner sections, varying degrees of surface porosity or pockmarking were found. These defects probably were formed by gaseous decomposition products pushing away the semi-skinned-over casting surface. Since these bubbles are formed late in solidification at the mold-metal interface, there was not enough time for them to dissolve.
