Improving Metal Flow in LOST FOAM CASTING Through Use of Low Thermal Degradation Hot Melt Adhesives: Researchers focused on developing a nontoxic, odorless, and stringless hot melt adhesive that thermally degrades, residue-free, at closer to the rate of EPS foam patterns

Lost foam casting is a manufacturing process capable of producing high volume, high precision castings with undercuts and inverse draft angles. This process uses expanded polystyrene (EPS) patterns that are [...]
