Titanium alloy investment castings are widely used in the aerospace industry. During the manufacturing process, titanium is prone to reacting with the ceramic shell, which leads to defects such as shell cracking and casting deformation. Therefore, it is important to investigate the temperature distribution and deformation behavior during the sintering process of ceramic shell to improve the performance of the ceramic shell and enhancing the quality of casting. An advanced Monte Carlo method is employed to establish the radiative heat transfer model. Additionally, considering the impact of thermal damage, a coupled thermo-mechanical-damage constitutive model is established. A specialized simulation software is created through secondary development based on ABAQUS to investigate the sintering process of ceramic shell. Thermo-physical parameters of the ceramic shell are measured to provide data support for the simulations. The proposed models are experimentally validated using a flat-plate specimen, and experimental results agree well with the simulated outcomes. Using the developed software, a comprehensive study is conducted on the temperature distribution and deformation behavior of the ceramic shell in an annular-stepped specimen under various process schemes. The results indicate that a non-uniform temperature distribution during the sintering process is more likely to induce significant deformation and even cracking in the shells, particularly at structural protrusions. Moreover, as the sintering temperature rises, the decreased viscosity of the glassy phase in the ceramic shell will also intensify thermal stress accumulation and localized deformation. The simulation study on the temperature distribution and deformation behavior of the ceramic shell during the sintering process provides theoretical insights and technical support for optimizing the sintering process of the ceramic shell and improving the qualification rate of titanium alloy investment castings.
