Degradation Mechanism of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Foam in Lost Foam Casting, PIPS Approach for Synthesis and Novel Expansion Techniques for Cellular Foam
Lost Foam Casting (LFC) is a metal casting technology that facilitates fabrication of near-net shape metal castings using expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam patterns that are coated with refractory slurry and is effective for producing aluminum or iron castings of complicated geometry. However, the LFC...
