Factory Supply Bronze Investment Casting - Alloy Steel Investment Casting – RMC Foundry

Alloy steel investment castings produced by lost wax casting with silica sol and water glass as the binder materials.

According to the different binders for shell building, the lost wax investment casting could be divided into silica sol binder investment casting, water glass binder investment casting and the investment casting with their mixtures as binder materials.

Investment casting (lost wax casting) is a method of precision casting complex near-net-shape details using replication of wax patterns. Investment casting or lost wax is a metal forming process that typically uses a wax pattern surrounded by a ceramic shell to make a ceramic mold. When the shell dries, the wax is melted away, leaving only the mold. Then the casting component is formed by pouring molten metal into the ceramic mold.
