Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015168233A1] Provided are slurry compositions and methods for producing investment casting molds. These compositions include a refractory material, a binder, a solvent, and a thixotropic agent comprising a polymer emulsion. Implementation of these slurry compositions enables a reduction in the number of backup layers in an investment casting shell, while retaining similar viscosity characteristics and similar or greater strength characteristics in the finished investment mold.
