Abstract

The paper presents an integral core/shell fabrication of ceramic casting mould for hollow turbine blades by combining SL (Stereolithography) with gelcasting. This method could guarantee the positional accuracy between ceramic cores and shell, thus achieving the rapid fabrication of complex turbine blade castings. The paper focuses on the design of resin mould for gelcasting, the preparation of ceramic slurry, the pyrolysis of resin prototype and the sintering of ceramic green body. The feasibility and effectiveness of above mentioned method were verified through successful manufacturing of hollow turbine blades with double-walled structure.
