Most of this is reflected in precise manufacturing, such as the investment casting process. Foundries are looking for causes of defects in some cases for a very long time, and it may happen that the source of defects is completely different from what was originally assumed. During the casting process there exist potential causes of defects as oxygen inclusions. This paper represents a summary of the beginnings of a wider research that will address the problems of gating systems in investment casting technology. In general, the influence of the melt flow is underestimated and the aim of the whole scientific research is to demonstrate the significant influence of laminar or turbulent flow on the resulting casting quality. Specifically, the paper deals with the analysis of the most frequent types of defects found in castings made of expensive types of materials casted in an open atmosphere and demonstration of connection with the design of gating systems in the future.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Dependence of Reoxidation Effect on a Type of Gating System in Investment Casting Technology}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/107824/PDF/AFE%203_2018_19.pdf}, keywords={Investment casting, gating system, Oxide film, metallography}, }
