Reinforcement of rice husk in ceramic shell mould system for investment casting process

Generally, production of metal component via investment casting process need a development of a very thin ceramic shell mould that can withstand a higher molten metal temperature. Development of ceramic shell mould is very crucial as its involves several times of dipping process followed by the d...
