摘要
Method of making a casting by investment casting of a metal or alloy, especially titanium and its alloys, in a ceramic investment shell mold in a manner to provide enhanced x-ray detectability of any sub-surface ceramic inclusions that may be present below exterior surfaces of the casting. The method involves forming a ceramic mold facecoat and/or back-up layer including erbia or other x-ray or neutron-ray detectable ceramic component. The facecoat/back-up layer is/are formed using a ceramic slurry comprising erbia and other optional ceramic particulates, an inorganic binder, and an inorganic pH control agent. The slurry is applied to a pattern of component to be cast to form the mold. A metal or alloy is cast in the mold, and the solidified casting is removed from the mold. The casting is subjected to radiography to detect any sub-surface ceramic inclusions below the exterior surface thereof not detectable by visual inspection of the casting. IMAGE
