A method of casting from thermoplastic slips

“…Up to the present time the technology of casting high melting compounds from thermoplastic slips has not gone beyond individual laboratory developments and a small number of articles. For example, [27] investigates the possibility of using this method for producing rods 40-50 mm in diameter and 120-150 mm long which would then be used as slugs for hot pressing. The maximum variation in density over the length of the rod is 2-3%.…”
