Ceramic Testing GuidebookWelcome to the Investment Casting Institutes’ Ceramic Testing Guidebook. Over the course of 2021, the ICI Publication committee members spent time providing a new resource to our members. Building on the concept that a picture is worth a thousand words, and the reality that we have new generation of employees who are more inclined to search for assistance on-line, the committee focused their attention on creating a digital version of the ICI Ceramic Testing Guidebook. While this guidebook covers a wide range of topics for ceramic testing, the committee’s initial focus was on testing procedures for colloidal silica binders (Section 3), slurries and shells (Section 7) and other slurry components (Section 5). Future work will incorporate other elements of this publication.
For the most part, the content remained the same as the current edition but has been updated to include state-of-the-art equipment and industry best practices. Photos were added to areas within a procedure that could benefit from greater clarity and where possible, a video of the complete procedure was included at the end of the procedure. This new online version can be accessed here: ICI Ceramic Testing Guidebook. A special thank you to the members of the Publication committee that assisted in this project including Ransom & Randolph, BESCAST, Yamaha Marine Precision Propellers, Inc. and Key Process Innovations. |
