Abstract: A procedure is provided for bringing an incompletely densified cast radome to a desired final or near final shape through the use of one or more conformal tools during a high temperature firing operation. A conformal firing tool is defined in this case as a mandrel or mold made from a high temperature material, such as a graphite composite, that represents the desired shape of the finished radome. The process consists of firing the cast radome body over a mandrel, or inside a mold, or in combination with the two, such that the tools impart a desired dimensionality to the cast part as it densities and flows at high temperature.
