The invention relates to a method for producing a mould for casting metallic melts, in particular for casting titanium, titanium alloys or intermetallic titanium aluminides. Said method consists of the following steps: a contact layer is produced by applying a first slicker containing a first metal oxide powder as an essentially solid component to a moulded core, a first sanding layer is produced on the contact layer formed from the first slicker by sanding with a second metal oxide powder and the layer sequence formed from the contact layer and the first sanding layer is radiated with infrared light for a predetermined period of time. According to the invention, for speeding up the drying process, a first dry mass of the first slicker contains a hydraulic binder. |

A method for forming a composite structure, using a mandrel that is later removed from the composite structure, involves production of a mandrel by depositing a particulate mixture, including an aggregate and a binder, into a mold and removing the mandrel from the mold. The mandrel may be treated while still in the mold by heating, curing with an agent, microwave energy, or by some combination thereof. Once finished, the mandrel can be used in manufacturing polymer and/or composite components. The mandrel can also be include materials that can be easily removed from the finished composite structure by water, shakeout, chemically dissolving, or by some combination thereof |

Sand casting is an old art. In this molding process sand is compacted around a pattern and the pattern is removed, leaving a mold cavity the shape of the pattern. Molten metal can then be poured into the cavity to form the object. To increase the life of the mold, and to make removal of the pattern easier, the pattern must be coated with a protective material. A pattern coating composition is disclosed wherein the composition is an emulsion including oil, water, graphite, a water dispersible amine, and a clay reactive with the amine to form an organophylic clay. |

Described herein is the use of new cementitious mortars with a high degree of fluidity and short consolidation times in the production of cementitious products by means of pouring in foundry moulds. The mortars used contain water, a fast-setting cement, fluidifiers and/or superfluidifiers, setting regulators, and aggregates having a specific granulometric distribution. The aggregates are made up of two fractions with different grain size such that the ratio between the characteristic grain diameters of the two fractions is comprised between 2.2 and 3.2. The new mortars thus obtained have values of fluidity 2-3 times higher than those of mortars produced with traditional aggregates. The mortars thus produced are particularly suitable for filling, in a homogeneous way and without any application of vibration, foundry earth moulds; solidification in the moulds takes place in a short time and leads to the formation of products, including ones of a complex shape, with precise outlines and having good mechanical characteristics. |

The molding sand comprises hollow microspheres of aluminum silicate, preferably with an aluminum content between 15 and 45% by weight, a wall thickness between 3 and 10% of the particle diameter and a particle size between 10 and 350 &mgr;m. These sands are useful to manufacture low density cores with good “veining” and penetration characteristics, moreover maintaining the mechanical properties of the core obtained. These cores are useful in the manufacture of iron casting. |

A sand casting foundry composition reduces thermal defects that cause veining in metal parts cast from sand casting foundry shapes formed from the foundry composition. A plurality of foundry sand grains are mixed substantially uniformly with a plurality of shale particles, and a curable binder coats the sand grains and the shale particles to establish core and mold foundry shapes used to cast the metal part. Anti-veining capability occurs because the shale particles include mineral components which have an inherent characteristic of crystal structural collapse upon exposure to metallurgical temperatures, and the crystal structural collapse yields space which is consumed by thermal expansion of the sand grains in the foundry composition. This compensatory effect avoids the creation of mechanical forces and stresses within the foundry shape that cause cracks and fissures in the foundry shape that lead to veining. |

The present invention provides a die for superplastic forming of titanium-based alloy with high-workability, which is inexpensive and easy to handle, and has detailed shape-reproducibility and no reactivity with titanium-based alloy to be processed, and has excellent accordance with it in a thermal expansion coefficient. This invention relates to a die for superplastic forming of titanium-based alloy characterized by comprising quartz, cristobalite and calcium silicate. The above die for superplastic forming of titanium-based alloy is produced by kneading a mixed powder of quartz and cristobalite, together with a binder containing a plaster additive of less than 30 weight % based on the total amount with water, forming the mixture, drying the formed product and sintering it in the atmosphere to convert the plaster additive into calcium silicate. |
