ABSTRACT:
The process serves to produce a directionally solidified casting (20) and uses an alloy located in a casting mold (12). The casting mold (12) is guided from a heating chamber (4) into a cooling chamber (5). The heating chamber (4) is here at a temperature above the liquidus temperature of the alloy, and the cooling chamber (5) is at a temperature below the solidus temperature of the alloy. The heating chamber (4) and the cooling chamber (5) are separated from one another by a baffle (3), aligned transversely to the guidance direction, having an opening (7) for the casting mold (12). When carrying out the process, a solidification front (19) is formed, beneath which the directionally solidified casting (20) is formed. The part of the casting mold (12) which is guided into the cooling chamber (5) is cooled with a flow of inert gas. As a result, castings (20) which are practically free of defects are achieved with high throughput times.
