Abstract: A method for manufacturing a metal component using lost-wax casting is provided. The component is made of, for example, nickel alloy, with a columnar or monocrystalline structure with at least one cavity of elongate shape. The method includes creating a wax model of the component with a ceramic core corresponding to the cavity, creating a shell mold around the model, placing the mold in a furnace, with the base standing on the sole of the furnace, pouring molten alloy into the shell mold, solidifying the poured metal by gradual cooling from the sole in a direction of propagation.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a metal component using the lost-wax casting method is provided. The component is made of nickel alloy, with a columnar or monocrystalline structure with at least one cavity of elongate shape. The method includes creating a wax model of the component with a ceramic core corresponding to said cavity, the ceramic core comprising a first land for holding at one longitudinal end and a second land for holding at the opposite end, creating a shell mold around the model, the mold comprising a base and the first land of the core being at the same end as the base, placing the mold in a furnace, with the base standing on the sole of the furnace, pouring the said molten alloy into the shell mold, solidifying the poured metal by gradual cooling from the sole in a direction of propagation.
