Verstärkte keramische Maskenform und Verfahren zu deren Herstellung

摘要

A ceramic investment shell mold is reinforced with a carbon based fibrous reinforcement having an extremely high tensile strength that increases as the mold temperature is increased especially within the range of casting temperatures employed for casting large directionally solidified industrial gas turbine components. The carbon based fibrous reinforcement is wrapped or otherwise positioned around the repeating ceramic slurry/stucco layers forming the intermediate thickness of the shell mold wall. The reinforced shell mold can be used to cast large directionally solidified industrial gas turbine components with accurate dimensional control.
