Abstract

See full text

A ceramic core is produced by introducing a fluid ceramic core material, such as a ceramic slurry, into a core-shaped cavity formed at least in part by one or more fugitive core tooling liners residing in a back-up body, removing the ceramic core from the cavity, and removing the one or more fugitive tooling liners from the back-up die body and discarding them. The fugitive tooling liners and optional tooling inserts are used in one or more production cycles (e.g. ceramic slurry injection cycle) to make a single or multiple ceramic cores and then replaced with fresh (un-used) tooling liners and optional inserts to make other ceramic cores.
