Abstract

A moldable composition suitable for use as a pattern core material for investment casting. The composition comprises a water-soluble continuous phase organic material and a water-soluble fluorescing dye dispersed through the continuous phase organic material. Related disposable thermoplastic patterns and methods are also disclosed.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 25 April 1997 (25.04.97); original claims 1-21 and 24 cancelled; original claims 22, 26 and 27 amended; new claims 28-35 added; remaining claims unchanged (2 pages)]
22. A method for forming a shaped, cavity-containing mass of thermoplastic composition for use in investment casting, the method comprising:
(a) causing a fluid thermoplastic pattern composition to flow into a mold and to solidify in the mold and about a core of moldable pattern core material comprising a water-soluble continuous phase organic material and a water-soluble fluorescing dye dispersed through the continuous phase organic material; (b) exposing the core material to water to remove the core material from the solidified thermoplastic pattern composition thereby to leave a cavity in the solidified thermoplastic pattern composition; and then
(c) inspecting the cavity for residual core material remaining in the cavity by directing into the cavity electromagnetic radiation of wave length to cause the fluorescing dye, upon exposure thereto, to produce electromagnetic radiation, and attempting to detect electromagnetic radiation that may be produced by the fluorescing dye in the residual core material that may remain in the cavity.
23. A method as set forth in claim 22 wherein said continuous phase organic material is polyethylene glycol.
25. A method as set forth in claim 22 wherein said moldable pattern core material further comprises a filler dispersed through the continuous phase organic material.
26. A method as set forth in claim 22 wherein said fluorescing dye is fluorescent and radiates visible light upon absorption of ultraviolet radiation.
27. A method as set forth in claim 26 wherein the cavity is inspected for residual core material remaining in the cavity by directing into the cavity ultraviolet radiation and visually inspecting the cavity for visible light produced by the fluorescing dye in the residual core material that may remain in the cavity.
28. A method as set forth in claim 22 wherein the 15 fluorescing dye is a phosphorescent dye.
29. A method as set forth in claim 28 wherein said phosphorescent dye radiates visible light after absorption of electromagnetic radiation at a frequency selected in a range of from about 3 X 10u Hz to about 3 X IO15 Hz.
30. A method as set forth in claim 28 wherein said phosphorescent dye radiates visible light after absorption of ultraviolet radiation.
31. A method as set forth in claim 30 wherein the cavity is inspected for residual core material remaining in the cavity by directing into the cavity ultraviolet radiation and then visually inspecting the cavity for visible light produced by the phosphorescent dye in the residual core material that may remain in the cavity.
32. A method as set forth in claim 25 wherein the moldable pattern core material further comprises an effervescent agent dispersed through the continuous phase organic material.
33. A method as set forth in claim 32 wherein the effervescent agent is sodium bicarbonate.
34. A method as set forth in claim 23 wherein the fluorescing dye is a fluorescent dye that radiates visible light upon absorption of ultraviolet radiation.
35. A method as set forth in claim 23 wherein the fluorescing dye is a phosphorescent dye that radiates visible light after absorption of ultraviolet radiation.
