Abstract

A structure for manufacturing a cast article includes an organic component, at least a portion thereof being an organic fiber. The structure has a mass reduction rate of 1 mass % or greater to less than 20 mass % when heated under nitrogen atmosphere at 1000° C. for 30 minutes. The cast-article-manufacturing structure includes an inorganic particle. The cast-article-manufacturing structure includes, as the inorganic particle, a first inorganic particle having a predetermined shape and/or physical property, and a second inorganic particle having a predetermined shape and/or physical property different from the first inorganic particle. In addition thereto or instead thereof, the cast-article-manufacturing structure has a maximum bending stress of 9 MPa or greater measured in conformity with JIS K7017, and a bending strain of 0.6% or greater at the maximum bending stress.
