ABSTRACT:
A metal casting system including novel process and apparatus wherein the shape of the casting is defined by a thin thermal degrading film supported by a particulate bed. A pattern having the shape of the desired casting is surrounded by the tight fitting film with one end of the pattern exposed. A particulate bed is tightly packed about the film-surrounded pattern. A reduced fluid pressure is established within the particulate bed relative to the pattern so that the surrounding film is tightly held by atmospheric pressure against the particulate bed and slightly released from the pattern. The pattern is removed from the surrounding film and leaves therein a cavity bounded by the film with the shape of the desired casting. The cavity is filled with molten metal for forming the desired casting simultaneously with the vaporization of the film. The present metal casting system is especially useful for the casting of cylindrical shapes using unique molds and a novel flask is provided for such a casting process.
