An investigation of a method of preparing intricately shaped objects such as turbo-supercharger blades from refractory powders. The method consists of preparing an extremely thick slip of materials like titanium carbide with a small amount of binder, casting the slip in a mold, and freezing to retain the shape of the casting. Results regarding the applicability of the method and factors affecting soundness, are provided.

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Collection
The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) was a U.S. federal agency founded on March 3, 1915 to undertake, promote, and institutionalize aeronautical research. On October 1, 1958 the agency was dissolved, and its assets and personnel transferred to the newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
This selection of materials from the Technical Report Archive and Image Library (TRAIL) includes hard-to-find reports published by various government agencies. The technical publications contain reports, images, and technical descriptions of research performed for U.S. government agencies. Topics range from mining, desalination, and radiation to broader physics, biology, and chemistry studies. Some reports include maps, foldouts, blueprints, and other oversize materials.
