Description

The development of the ceramic shell system used in investment casting is described along with a number of other ceramic related techniques which have led to the establishment of the process at the forefront of metal forming technology. A number of raw material requirements are examined along with improvements in property measurement techniques at the system's operating temperature. The shells were investigated using x-ray diffraction. 13 refs., 18 figs., 5 tabs
