冷冻铸造工艺(FCP)给传统的近终形铸件的生产提供了一个极好的选择余地。一套FCP设备和人员的费用比失蜡或泡沫塑料的工艺需要的费用低35％～50％。制冰成本(包括水和添加剂)每磅仅3～5分钱。因而FCP可用生产砂型铸件的费用生产质量相当于蜡型精密铸造的铸件。可进行冷冻铸造的材料有:灰铁、锻铁、钢、铝和铜。本文叙述了冷冻铸造的工艺,发展过程中碰到的问题和 The Freeze Casting Process (FCP) provides an excellent alternative to traditional near-end castings. The cost of a FCP unit and personnel is 35% to 50% lower than the cost of a wax or foam process. Icemaking costs (including water and additives) are only 3 to 5 cents a pound. Therefore, FCP can be used to produce the cost of sand casting production quality equivalent to wax castings. Materials that can be chilled cast are: gray iron, wrought iron, steel, aluminum and copper. This article describes the process of frozen casting, the problems encountered in the development process and
