Abstract

Due to the lack of information about the casting and mechanical properties of the AK8l alloy during casting into printed molds made of the ZCast mixture, studies on determining its fluidity, shrinkage, and mechanical properties, as well as on increasing the relative elongation of this alloy by means of optimizing its chemical composition, have been performed. It is shown that the method of casting into a printed mold made of the ZCast mixture can be effectively used in obtaining castings for critical applications from the AK8l alloy, especially at the stage of preparing cast products for production.
