The Investment Casting Process

Investment castings are one of the more popular methods for producing repeatable metal parts with significant cast-in features or details. Because investment castings or lost wax castings require a large amount of labor, we are able to utilize our lower cost structures in China, and provide a low cost final product. We are also able to offer finished machining, plating and other secondary operations for your lost wax castings with little additional cost. Manufacturing engineers in the US develop setup and manufacturing processes for our foundry in China to maximize yields and lower overall costs.

Our China foundry uses American style investment casting techniques and our shells are typically heated to 1800 F which means we do not have to super-heat alloys, it provides greater details on the surface of the casting and the solidification pathway of the entire tree is consistently controlled. We also use injection presses for our wax parts instead of pour molds. The dimensional stability from part to part of injected wax is more repeatable than pour molds.

Stainless steel investment castings, steel investment castings, aluminum investment castings, nickel alloy investment castings, cobalt alloy investment castings and iron investment castings are some of the processes used at our China casting foundries. Our China foundry is able to produce close tolerance or precision castings, with value added machining, plating, high finish and assembly if needed. This allows us to produce a variety of investment castings for the industrial and energy related industries, including pressure-containing components.

Unlike die casting, lost wax casting allows the use of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The investment casting process or lost wax process provides a high quality affordable solution for repeatable metal products with cast-in details or features. Details and benefits of investment castings are listed at the links below.
