A method for producing a component includes incorporating a molding compound into a tool for producing the component, where the molding compound includes an artificial resin as a matrix and a filler material embedded in the matrix. The method includes compressing the molding compound by the tool and by the compressing forming the molding compound to a green product. The method further includes providing the green product while disposed in the tool with a layer in a sub-region by incorporating a liquid material for producing the layer into the tool and applying the liquid material to the sub-region. The liquid material is a metallic material and the layer is an electromagnetic shielding on the green product.

A blade has an attachment root and an airfoil, the airfoil having a proximal end and a distal end. The blade has a compositional variation along the airfoil.

The present invention relates to an arrangement for low-pressure casting of refractory metals, with a furnace chamber with one or a plurality of gas supply openings (6) and gas outlet openings (7), and a riser pipe (8) through a cover (5) of the furnace chamber, a melting container (3, 12) for the refractory metals arranged in the furnace chamber, and a heating device for heating the refractory metals in the melting container (3, 12). In the proposed arrangement, the melting container (3, 12) is formed as an exchangeable insert for a receiving mould (2) supporting the melting container (3, 12), which is arranged in the furnace chamber, wherein a thermally insulating layer (4, 17) is formed between the receiving mould (2) and the melting container (3, 12), or is integrated into the melting container (3, 12). With the proposed arrangement, a quick and easy exchange of the melting container for different alloys can also be carried out in the low-pressure casting of refractory metals.

A method of fabricating an investment casting mold includes using a zircon-containing slurry to form a facecoat of a refractory investment wall of a mold cavity in an investment casting mold. The zircon-containing slurry includes, by weight, at least 70% of zircon powder. Also disclosed is a slurry for use in an investment casting mold. The slurry includes, by weight, at least 70% of zircon powder, 10%-30% of colloidal silica material, and 1%-10% of a carrier solvent. The method and slurry can be used to fabricate an investment casting mold that has a refractory investment wall with a facecoat having, by weight, at least 70% zircon.

A method includes moving a first part along a movement path. The method also includes introducing drops of a liquid metal onto the first part using a three-dimensional (3D) printer. The drops of the liquid metal solidify to form a second part that is joined to the first part. The method also includes mechanically joining the second part to a third part.

An apparatus for countergravity casting a metallic material, comprises: a crucible for holding melted metallic material; a casting chamber for containing a mold; a fill tube capable of extending into the crucible to communicate melted metallic material to the casting chamber; a gas source coupled a headspace of the melting vessel to allow the gas source to pressurize said headspace to establish a pressure differential to force the melted metallic material upwardly through said fill tube into said mold; and means for gettering sulfur.

The disclosure relates generally to mold compositions and methods of molding and the articles so molded. More specifically, the disclosure relates to mold compositions, intrinsic facecoat compositions, and methods for casting titanium-containing articles, and the titanium-containing articles so molded.

A method for casting an article comprises a first region and a second region. The method comprises casting an alloy in a shell, the shell having a casting core protruding from a first metal piece; and deshelling and decoring to remove the shell and core and leave the first region formed by the first piece and the second region formed by the casted alloy.

A vehicle is adapted to sense a condition of use in which a maximum speed control speed is reduced. The condition of use may be indicated by a sensor of the vehicle, or selected according to the kind of terrain across which the vehicle is travelling. Selection of terrain type may be manual or automatic, and may enable a selection of sensors appropriate to the terrain type. A vehicle driver may select a speed control speed lower than the permitted maximum.

This method is a method for manufacturing a gas turbine blade, including: producing a gas turbine blade having a cooling pass inside thereof; and partially coating an inner surface of the cooling pass with Al. The step of partially coating an inner surface of the cooling pass with Al further including: a first step of specifying a temperature range which satisfies both of oxidation resistance and fatigue strength and the temperature distribution of the inner surface of the cooling pass based on an examination result or result of a numerical analysis; a second step of setting an Al-coating-applying portion of the inner surface of the cooling pass as the temperature range specified at the first step; and a third step of applying Al coating only into the set Al-coating-applying portion.
