What is Investment Casting?
Investment Casting is a metal forming technique that uses a non-metal mold formed around a pattern of wax or similar material which is then removed by melt-ing. Molten metal is then poured into the mold and left cool. After unmolding the desired metal part is formed. The most commonly applied process is Lost Wax Casting.
Why Investment Casting?
Investment casting is valued for its ability to produce components with accuracy and fine surface finish that requires little machining. They can also be cast with thin walls and complex shapes, with high mechanical properties. In addition, it gives flexibility for product design and small batch and variety production to adapt changing market demand.
Applications
Subject to the technical conditions of foundries and the specification required for castings, this process can be applied in different fields, including hardware parts, industrial components, valves, pneumatic tools, golf club heads, automotive parts, medical devices and implants, and aerospace parts etc.
