2. Process performance

In addition to the intrinsic properties of the alloys formed by this casting process, its performance in aeronautical manufacturing is largely dependent on :

  • the formulas used to create shell moulds and ceramic cores;

  • the considerable progress made in recent years in controlling the cooling of alloys after casting, which has a direct impact on the structure of the solidified alloy and, consequently, on its final mechanical and physical properties.

2.1 Ceramic shell molds and cores

The main qualities expected of the ceramic materials that make up these products are :

  • a very high chemical inertia with respect to the liquid...
