    摘要: A casting process and apparatus for producing directionally-solidified castings, and castings produced therewith. The process entails applying a facecoat slurry to a surface within a mold cavity to form a continuous solid facecoat on the surface, introducing a molten metal alloy into the mold cavity so that the molten metal alloy contacts the facecoat, and then immersing the mold in a liquid coolant to cool and solidify the molten metal alloy and form a casting of the metal alloy, during which an oxide layer forms on the casting surface. The facecoat is sufficiently adherent to the oxide layer such that at least a portion of the facecoat detaches from the mold surface and remains tightly adhered to the casting surface in the event the casting contracts during cooling. The facecoat contains at least 60 weight percent of a first phase of yttria, and the balance of the facecoat is a binder phase of an inorganic material.

    摘要: A liquid metal cooled directional solidification process provides improved solidification characteristics at the solidification front. In the process, a mold is filled with molten metal; and a solidification interface is caused to pass through the molten metal by progressively immersing the mold into a cooling liquid. The cooling liquid is a eutectic or near eutectic metal composition. A directional solidification furnace includes a heating furnace, a liquid cooling bath and a mold positioner. The heating furnace has an open bottom end through which a heated mold containing molten metal is lowered from the furnace. The liquid cooling bath comprises a molten eutectic or near eutectic metal composition positioned beneath the open end of the furnace. The mold positioner gradually lowers the heated mold from the furnace, through the open end and immerses the mold into the liquid cooling bath.

    摘要: A mold is provided for enabling casting of single crystal metallic articles including a part-defining cavity, a sorter passage positioned vertically beneath and in fluid communication with the part-defining cavity, and a seed cavity positioned vertically beneath and in fluid communication with the sorter passage. The sorter passage includes a shape suitable for encouraging a single crystal structure in solidifying molten metal. Additionally, a portion of the mold between the sorter passage and the part-defining cavity includes a notch for facilitating breakage of a cast article proximate the notch during thermal stress build-up, so as to prevent mold breakage or the inclusion of part defects.
