ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for the casting of metals by the use of a consumable or vaporizable pattern. In this method, a foamed pattern of a desired part is first formed. The pattern is then dipped into a ceramic slurry and the slurry dried in order to form a shell containing the foamed pattern. A bed of a particulate medium heated to a temperature of from 700.degree. to 1000.degree. F. is formed around the ceramic shell to cause the pattern to vaporize without burning and form a mold. A molten metal is then introduced into the mold, solidified and removed from the mold to form a casting. An inert atmosphere can be provided over the bed of heated particulate medium during the vaporization of the pattern to help suppress the burning of the vaporized pattern.
