Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an inexpensive mold for manufacturing molded articles of titanium-aluminum alloys or titanium alloys that has low reactivity with molten alloys and can inhibit the reaction between the mold and the alloy. The mold is made of a ceramic and mainly comprises a filler and a binder for increasing bonding between the filler particles. The mold is designed to have low reactivity with titanium-aluminum alloys and titanium alloys, and can be used for manufacturing molded articles with high efficiency and low cost.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, where the a case layer is too thick, a long time is required for chemical milling or mechanical cutting, causing increase in production cost and decrease in productivity.

Embodiment Construction

[0059]Colloidal silica (silica sol) has been used as a binder for casting molds for Ni-based alloys, Co-based alloys, and Fe-based alloys. Silica sol features chemical stability (low activity), low industrial cost, and a high strength from room temperature to a high temperature. However, silica sol is highly reactive with titanium-aluminum alloys and titanium alloys. For this reason, silica sol has been conventionally considered unsuitable for use as a binder for molds for titanium-aluminum alloys and titanium alloys.

[0060]However, the results of a keen study performed by the inventors demonstrated that by adjusting the constituent materials of a filler for a mold for a titanium-aluminum alloy or a titanium alloy, it is possible to prevent a vigorous reaction with the titanium-aluminum alloy or titanium alloy even when silica sol is used as a binder.

[0061]One preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the appended drawings.

Abstract

The object of the present invention is to provide a mold which has low reactivity with molten alloys and which is inexpensive, a method for manufacturing the same and a molded article using the mold. A mold 40 in accordance with the present invention serves for manufacturing a molded article 60 of a titanium-aluminum alloy or a titanium alloy. At least an initial layer 44a of a cavity surface 43 of a mold body 41 constituting the mold 40 is formed of a calcined product of a slurry comprising a filler having cerium oxide as a main component and a binder having silica sol as a main component.
