Abstract: A die casting and a method for die casting a metal having a melting temperature of at least 1500° F. (815° C.) are disclosed. A molten volume of metal is injected to a casting die which includes a main cavity corresponding to an as-cast structure, a first reservoir, and a first runner arrangement. The first runner arrangement is configured to fluidly communicate molten metal between the first reservoir and the main cavity. After the injecting step, the casting die is sealed. The injected molten volume of metal is equiaxially solidified generally from a first portion of the main cavity distal to the first reservoir toward a second portion of the main cavity proximal to the first reservoir. During the equiaxial solidifying step, the main cavity is backfilled with at least a portion of the injected molten volume via the first runner arrangement.

Abstract: A method of forming a component includes the steps of placing a core into a mold and pouring a component material around the core. The component material is allowed to solidify. The core is then removed from within the material, leaving a component having at least a first and a second cavity formed by the core. A first filler material is moved into the first cavity, and a second filler material is moved into the second cavity. The component is inspected for the presence of an apparent residual core within the first cavity and the second cavity. The location is identified of the apparent residual core from the core based upon an identification of whether the location of the apparent residual core is in the first or second filler materials. A method of inspecting a component formed by investment casting is also disclosed.

Abstract: A hollow metal article can be fabricated by casting a molten metal alloy around a core, solidifying the molten metal alloy to form a metal article, and chemically removing the core from the metal article to form a hollow cavity in the metal article. The core includes a ceramic core body and an x-ray radiopaque coating disposed on the ceramic core body. A method for testing the hollow metal article includes submitting the hollow metal article to x-ray imaging and determining based upon the x-ray imaging whether any of the x-ray radiopaque coating of the core remains in the hollow metal article.

Abstract: An intermediate component with an internal passageway includes a solid metallic additively manufactured component with an internal passageway in a near finished shape. The component has voids greater than 0 percent but less than approximately 15 percent by volume and up to 15 percent additional material by volume in the near finished shape compared to a desired finished configuration.
