Abstract

A method of manufacturing a compressor housing is provided including arranging a core with a die to define a mould cavity, solidifying a metal within the cavity to form a compressor housing having a diffuser first wall and an outlet volute first wall with an opening; the housing being formed such that a first angle is subtended between an outlet section of a surface of the diffuser first wall and a first section of a surface of the outlet volute first wall, wherein after the housing has been formed, the core is removed and a cut is applied, through the opening, to the first section of the surface of the outlet volute first wall to produce a cut section such that a second angle is subtended between the cut section and the outlet section of the surface of the diffuser first wall that is greater than the first angle.
