ABSTRACT:
A process for the production of castings by directional or monocrystalline solidification is carried out in a vacuum casting plant which, apart from a conventional cooling plate, has no additional heating devices for the casting mold. The unidirectional heat flow required to guide the solidification front is produced on the one hand, by heat sources formed partially from superheated melt and, on the other hand, by heat sinks consisting of the cooling plate and the surroundings of the mold. The mold is heated in a separate heating-up oven to a temperature above the liquidus temperature of the melt in order that the casting mold may contribute to the heat source in addition to the melt so doing.
