摘要:
A setter is configured to minimize distortion of a core supported during firing. The configuration also provides for adequate gas flow both to envelope the core and to provide an aspiration effort to cause the gas to be drawn downwardly through and about the core structure to the interior of the setter to enhance the removal of reaction products therefrom. A retort, preferably made of molybdenum, is provided to enhance the effects of the setter configuration.

A method of firing alumina-based ceramic core compacts includes firing the compact in a controlled atmosphere in a closed retort whereby at least a portion of the gas of the controlled atmosphere is caused to flow down, around and through the porous compact by aspiration.

A method for simultaneously forming an integral porous outer barrier layer having a density gradient therein on selected external surfaces of a fired ceramic article and for increasing the porosity content and crushability characteristics thereof embodies the firing of a ceramic compact comprising a reactant fugitive filler material and a ceramic material in a controlled atmosphere.
摘要:
A reactant fugitive filler material is employed in a material composition which includes alumina-based ceramics of one or more particle sizes. The reactant fugitive material provides sufficient reactant material at an elevated temperature to form a fired ceramic article which has a porous microstructure in which the grain morphology is characteristic of grains which have undergone vapor phase transport action.

A core for investment casting directionally solidified eutectic and superalloy material consists of alumina which has a porous microstructure in which the grain morphology is characteristic of grains which have undergone vapor phase transport action.
摘要:
An alumina core for investment casting directionally solidified eutectic and superalloy materials consists of a central portion which has porosity which is continuous throughout. The material of the central portion has a micro-structure which is characteristic of alumina grains which have undergone vapor phase transport action. An outer layer of alumina encompasses the central portion and in integral therewith and contains porosity which is discontinuous.
