single crystal casting

A neat technique for constructing metal parts that are extremely strong and light is called single crystal casting. Think of it the same way you would a sculpture — except in addition to clay, or paint, this one was also forged from metal! It is an intriguing process that marries science with creativity.

Single crystal casting is an incredibly unique process, where no mistakes or faults are produced in the metal parts. This gives a uniformity to the parts, meaning there are no air bubbles or anything else that can compromise the metal. Like you need to forge that perfect metal sculpture or something! When this method has been used to create something, you get a robust and sturdy piece that can be utilized in plenty of relevant applications.

The technology of single crystal casting

To form a single crystal metal part, the first step is to construct an appropriate mold. It is a mold, of sorts - what the metal will set itself into (as it cools) once everything has washed over and past. After that, the mold is carefully bloated with hot flowing metal. Be careful, because at the metal hot! After the metal is cast in, it cools slowly. However, as the metal cools it starts to form crystals. These crystals are seen as special because of their ability to grow face on with one another. This ideal contouring makes the metal super tensile, and light!
