ABSTRACT:
An improved process for forming objects such as turbine nozzles (10) with internal geometries without requiring machining of the internal geometry to produce a smooth complex internal surface (16, 18 and 19) is disclosed. The process includes forming a mandrel (30) containing a negative image of the internal geometry; coating the mandrel with a material (32) which is not chemically reactive with the material from which the mandrel is formed, capturing the mandrel in a mold or form (34) which is to receive the material from which the object is to be formed, the material (36) from which the object is to be made not being chemically reactive with the coating; filling the mold or form with the material to capture the mandrel and coating in solidified material contained in the form; and removing the form and the mandrel. If the material is a cast metal, the melting point of the material for forming the object should be below the melting point of the coating on the mandrel.
