Paul,

I'm starting to do some research on Inconel / Hastalloy turbine exhaust
manifolds.  Looks like there is a need / market.  While welding is one
option, casting is another.  Got any leads to a foundry that does such
castings?  Feel free to post this in case anybody else on the list has
leads.

I'm taking the intake manifold pattern to the foundry today for a sanity
check.  Pattern is 95% done, with only the cover core box to go.  Last
chance for the foundry to make changes before I go "final" with it.  Can't
wait to see the metal pour!  I'll get some photos in the next few days for
posting.

I am real excited about the intake casting Tom. For those many just
coming on the list here is a rendering of the runners and the flange.

I might be able to find something here in the SF valley as Rocketdyne
is here. Any Inconel castings in rocket motors Vance?
