  • Method for casting reactive metals and casting containers associated therewith
    Publication number: 20070196683
    Abstract: An investment casting system for producing a cast article from a reactive metal that is free of an undesirable surface layer generally associated with the reaction between the molten metal and the casting mold. In one form the casting mold is substantially free of silica. A silica free ceramic crucible for heating and holding molten reactive metal is also contemplated herein.

  • Forming structures by laser deposition
    Publication number: 20060054079
    Abstract: A method of forming at least a part of a single crystal component (34) comprising a base material, the method comprises the steps of; directing a flow of base material (24) at a first location (22) on a substrate (26, 34), directing a laser (20) towards the first location (22) to fuse the flow of base material (24) with the substrate (26, 34) thereby forming a deposit (22) on the substrate (26), characterised in that, the method comprises controlling the rate of cooling of the deposit (22) and/or substrate (26, 34) so that the single crystal extends into the deposit (22).
