Development of a High Precision Silicone Rubber Mold for Cylinder Block

Abstract:

This work demonstrates a technique for producing accurate wax patterns made from a high precision silicone rubber mold. Silicon rubber mold was cut into five components, which is the minimum number of components for assembling the silicone rubber mold. The advantages of this silicon rubber mold include savings in assembly time, reduction of human error while assembling the silicone rubber mold and good assembly precision. The shrinkage of critical dimensions can be controlled within 2.19%. Results reported here can speed up the velocity in the development of a new cylinder block in the motorcycle industry.
