Abstract: A method is provided for casting a component. Accordingly, data indicative of at least one location of a unitary core-shell mold which is susceptible to a stress concentration is received. An additive manufacturing process is employed to form the unitary core-shell mold defining a casting cavity. The unitary core-shell mold includes a shell wall defining an outer component shape and a core wall positioned inward of the shell wall. The core wall defines an inner component shape. The core wall and/or the shell wall defines at least one reinforcement recess adjacent to the at least one location which is susceptible to the stress concentration. Following the forming of the unitary core-shell mold, at least one support member is positioned within the reinforcement recess in contact with the at least one location. With the support member in place, the component is cast within the casting cavity.

Abstract: A method of forming a cast component and a method of forming a casting mold. The method is performed by connecting at least one wax gate component to a ceramic core-shell mold. The ceramic core-shell mold includes at least a filter, first core portion, a first shell portion, and at least one first cavity between the core portion and the first shell portion. The core-shell mold may manufactured using an additive manufacturing process and may include an integrated ceramic filter. At least a portion of the ceramic core-shell mold and the wax gate component is coated with a second ceramic material. The wax gate component is then removed to form a second cavity in fluid communication with the first cavity.

Abstract: Methods for creating a cast component, along with the resulting cast components, are provided. The method may provide for a controlled grain structure in the resulting cast component. The methods may include heating at least a first portion mold under controlled conditions, such as when the first portion of the mold is buried in a ceramic powder.

Abstract: Methods for creating a cast component, along with the resulting cast components, are provided. The method may include heating a mold having a cavity therein; supplying a first molten metal material into the cavity of the mold such that the first molten metal material is directed to a first portion of the cavity of the mold; supplying a second molten metal material into the cavity of the mold such that the second molten metal material is directed to a second portion of the cavity of the mold, wherein the first molten metal material is compositionally different than the second molten metal material; and thereafter, allowing the first molten metal material and the second molten metal material to form the cast component.

Abstract: A method of forming a cast component and a method of forming a casting mold is generally provided. The method is performed by plugging or covering an opening in a ceramic core-shell mold. The ceramic core-shell mold includes at least a first core portion, a first shell portion, and at least one first cavity between the core portion and the first shell portion. The core-shell mold may be manufactured using an additive manufacturing process. At least a portion of the ceramic core-shell mold and the plug or cover is coated with a second ceramic material.

Abstract: A method for casting a part, that includes the steps of: introducing a mold into a first housing; engaging the first housing with a second housing to define a second chamber; melting an ingot within the furnace; reducing pressure within the second chamber to a first predetermined pressure; pouring at least a portion of the melted ingot into the mold; adding an gas to the second chamber to raise the pressure to a second predetermined pressure; moving the mold such that it is engaged with the means for cooling; and solidifying the liquid metal within the mold.

Abstract: A method is provided for casting a component. Accordingly, a casting core is provided within a cavity of a component mold. The casting core defines an inner component shape and includes a core wall. The core wall defines a core outer surface and a core inner surface disposed opposite the core outer surface. The core inner surface defines a core cavity. The casting core also includes a removal facilitation feature. The component is cast within the cavity of the component mold with the casting core positioned therein. The cast component is removed from the component mold and the casting core is removed from the cast component.
