Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a replacement body for a component is provided. The method includes the steps of: a) additively manufacturing a crucible for casting of the replacement body; b) solidifying a metal material within the crucible to form a directionally solidified microstructure within the replacement body; and c) removing the crucible to reveal the directionally solidified replacement body.
