Abstract
A 'lost foam' method of making a casting having a preform embedded at a selective location therein including the steps of: engulfing a porous preform in a fugitive pattern; embedding the pattern in a loose sand mold in a vessel; pouring molten metal into the mold cavity via a sprue and runner system formed in the sand bed so as to destroy the pattern and fill the mold cavity with metal; pressurizing the vessel to force molten metal from the cavity into the porous preform; replacing metal lost from the cavity with make-up metal from the sprue and runner system; allowing the casting to solidify; and removing the casting from the sand bed.
