Abstract (en)

[origin: US2011180229A1] A directional solidification furnace comprises a crucible assembly including a crucible for containing a melt having walls and a base with an opening therein, a crucible support for supporting the crucible, and a lid covering the crucible. A plate is received in the opening in the base. The plate has a higher thermal conductivity than that of the base. The base can include a composite having an additive such that the composite base has a higher thermal conductivity than a comparable without the additive.
