Abstract
A deflector element is provided, in order to improve temperature interface control with respect to directional solidification of a component casting. This deflector element is formed during the mould making process and is arranged to be positioned with respect to a part of a principal mould formation within which the final cast component is produced. The deflector element ensures a uniform temperature throughout the component cross-section relative to other parts of the component as it is solidified.
