Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0347344A2] A ceramic shell mold and method of making the same. The ceramic shell mold includes a facecoat layer comprised of a first ceramic material. A plurality of alternating layers are formed overlaying the facecoat layer. The alternating layers are comprised of a second ceramic material and a third ceramic material, the third ceramic material having thermophysical properties different than the second ceramic material. The second ceramic material and the third ceramic material are preferably a zircon-based material and an alumina-based material, respectively. The resultant ceramic shell mold has a greater high temperature creep resistance than a shell mold formed solely from the second ceramic material or solely from the third ceramic material.
