a lost-wax process that uses colloidal silica as a binder in a refractory ceramic shell. A wax pattern defines the geometry, successive ceramic coats create the mold, and the wax is removed before molten alloy enters the cavity. The shell is broken away after solidification.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7100005 ss-text  elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7100005\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Silica sol is an aqueous dispersion of very small silica particles. It binds the refractory material; it is not the metal being cast. The refractory flour, stucco and binder together form the shell system. Ransom &amp; Randolph describes its Levasil binder as an approximately 30% solids aqueous dispersion, but that product value is not a universal slurry recipe. <a class=\"ss-ref\" href=\"#ss-source-1\" aria-label=\"Reference 1\">[1]<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7100006 ss-text  elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7100006\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For a buyer, the useful outcome is a near-net-shape starting point.
