  • Support for a fired article
    Patent number: 9056795
    Abstract: An article produced using, among other techniques, free-form fabrication having a binder matrix and particles can be supported during a temperature processing, such as burn-out of the binder matrix, with a support composition to maintain geometry and/or alleviate changes in geometry of the article. The support composition can take a variety of forms such as foams, two phase materials, plastic powders, carbon powders, etc. The support material is sacrificed during the thermal processing, such as through decomposition. Such a decomposition can occur when the support composition evolves into a carbonaceous structure. The support composition can also oxidize to a gas, melt, or vaporize, among other types of sacrificial action.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 9, 2010
    Date of Patent: June 16, 2015
    Assignee: Rolls-Royce Corporation
    Inventors: Michael Christopher Maguire, Michael Dean Baldwin, Max Eric Schlienger, Ariel Eugenio

  • Method and apparatus for removing ceramic material from cast components
    Patent number: 6739380
    Abstract: The removal of ceramic material from the interior of cast metallic components is accomplished in a closed system. A vessel within the system is filled with a chemical leaching fluid that immerses the cast component having the ceramic material and/or ceramic cores therein. The leaching fluid is superheated and boiling is controlled by varying the pressure within the closed system without changing the molecules in the vessel.
