Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A method for producing a casting having at least one vertical rib when a cross-sectional shape selected from L-, T- and combination shapes thereof, said method comprising: providing a pattern for said casting said pattern being a combination of reusable and gasifiable parts, said reusable parts comprising a base element, and at least one vertical rib web attached thereto which is substantially perpendicular to said base element, said gasifiable parts comprising at least one horizontal rib flange connected to said rib web, a portion of said rib flange formed at an angle to said rib web; molding a binder free molding material around said pattern to form a mold; removing said reusable parts of said pattern from said mold; and destroying said gasifiable parts of said pattern during introduction of casting material into said mold.
