A method of forming a cast component includes at least partially surrounding an investment mold in a heat-insulating packing material, feeding a molten alloy into the investment mold to provide a filled investment mold, and agitating the filled investment mold while solidifying the molten alloy.

A crucible includes a composite of least two materials. The two materials are selected from a group consisting of alumina, calcia, yttria, erbia, gadolinia, magnesia, hafnia, and zirconia in a composition that has better resistance to reaction with hafnium from a molten hafnium-containing alloy than a nominal crucible composition of 70wt% magnesia and 30wt% alumina.

摘要:
A molding process utilizes a seed (28) with a columnar grain structure for defining a desired grain structure in a completed casting. The seed is received within a seed cavity of a mold (20). The molten material adopts the orientation of the columns (30) defined within the seed during solidification to form a completed molded article having a desired columnar grain structure.
摘要:
A die casting system includes a die (112), a shot tube (124), a shot tube plunger (128) and a melting unit (132). The die (112) includes a plurality of die components that define a die cavity (120). The shot tube (124) is in fluid communication with the die cavity (120). The shot tube plunger (128) is moveable within the shot tube (124) to communicate a charge of material into the die cavity (120). The melting unit (46) is positioned relative to the die (112) and includes a bottom portion (42) having an opening (58) for selectively releasing a charge of material through the bottom portion (42).
