OEM/ODM China Stainless Steel Investment Casting Company - Investment Precision Casting Alloy Steel Company – RMC Foundry

Investment casting, also called lost wax casting or precision casting, is a method of precision casting complex near-net-shape details using replication of wax patterns. Investment casting or lost wax casting 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.

The investment precision casting is suitable for repeatable production of net shape components from a variety of different metals and high performance alloys. Although generally used for small castings, at our investment casting foundry, this process has been used to produce complete aircraft door frames, with alloy steel castings of up to 500 kgs and aluminium castings of up to 50 kgs. Compared to other casting processes such as die casting or sand casting, it can be an expensive process. However, the components that can be produced using investment casting can incorporate intricate contours, and in most cases the components are cast near net shape, so require little or no rework once cast.

▶ Advantages of Investment Casting Components:
• Excellent and smooth surface finish
• Tight dimensional tolerances.
• Complex and intricate shapes with design flexibility
• Capability to cast thin walls therefore a lighter casting component
• Wide selection of cast metals and alloys (ferrous and non-ferrous)
• Draft is not required in the molds design.
• Reduce the need for secondary machining.
• Low material waste.
