    摘要: A method and apparatus for casting a near-net-shape article from a high temperature material, such as a refractory metal intermetallic composite material. The apparatus includes: a means for forming a molten material comprising at least one of a metal and an alloy; a means for pouring the molten material; a mold assembly comprising a solid shell having a face coat interposed between the solid shell and molten material; and a heater assembly for maintaining the solid shell at a temperature. The molten material solidifies within the solid shell to form a near-net shape of the article. The near-net shape article may be a turbine assembly component, such as, but not limited to, a vane or airfoil.
