摘要:
The crushability of a ceramic article suitable for use in the casting and directional solidification of advanced superalloy materials is enhanced by utilizing a two-phase mixture of material and inducing microcracks in the material. The crushability is further enhanced by forming the article to include a predetermined porosity content.
摘要:
A ceramic suitable for use in the casting of advanced superalloy materials has a structure including a predetermined porosity content and a material microstructure characterized by a high density of microcracks.

Cores made of either Y.sub.2 O.sub.3, Y.sub.3 Al.sub.5 O.sub.12, LaAlO.sub.3, MgAl.sub.2 O.sub.4 or Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 are removed from castings of advanced superalloy materials by immersion in a molten salt bath of either Li.sub.3 AlF.sub.6 or a mixture of CaF.sub.2 -- NaF.
