This paper presents a review of the progress made by the investment casting foundries in producing integrally-cast airfoil components for small gas-turbine engines. The casting process, from pattern production to the final inspection operations, is discussed in detail. Suggested dimensional tolerances, based on the present state of the art, are included. Finally, the properties and casting characteristics of various alloys commonly used for internal components are presented.
