The invention belongs to the technical field of
investment casting processes, and relates to an
investment casting process of a complex thin-wall hollow aluminum
alloy aviation part. The
investment casting process comprises the following steps that a water-soluble
ceramic core is manufactured by adopting a 3D printing mode, the water-soluble
ceramic core is coated with an organic waterproof
coating, and
drying is carried out on the water-soluble
ceramic core; a
wax injection mold is manufactured according to the shape of a
casting, a water-soluble ceramic core is placed in the
wax injection mold, a
wax material is injected into the wax injection mold after mold closing to form a wax mold, the wax mold is coated with
gypsum slurry, and after the
gypsum slurry is hardened, heating dewaxing and
roasting are carried out to obtain a
gypsum casting mold; and
molten metal is poured into the gypsum
casting mold by adopting a vacuum pouring and pressurizing solidification method to obtain a
casting mold, and finally the
casting mold is put into clear water to dissolve and remove the water-soluble ceramic core to obtain the needed complex thin-wall hollow aluminum
alloy aviation part. According to the investment casting process of the complex thin-wall hollow aluminum
alloy aviation part, the water-soluble ceramic core and the gypsum
casting mold are combined, so that the problem that along and narrow inner cavity of the gypsum casting mold sinks is solved, and forming of looseness, cold shut and hot cracks in the casting is reduced through vacuum pouring and pressurizing solidification.
