Because aero-engine turbine blades operate at temperatures approaching 1,400°C they are designed with complex internal cooling passages. The only economic production process capable of making the blades is to cast exotic alloys in a ceramic mould around a ceramic core. The core is usually an airfoil shaped ceramic part made to close limits of accuracy. Doulton Industrial Products has made ceramic cores used in the casting of turbine blades for most of the world's aero-engine companies since 1961. The company's contribution in pioneering ceramic techniques is second to none.
