Investment Casting

Investment castings, otherwise known as lost-wax casting, makes parts from molten metals. Typically, it is used to make stainless-steel alloys, brass, aluminum, and carbon steel. It is also used to mass produce parts and make small, detail-oriented parts that require a lot of precision. How is an Investment Casting Made? […]

You’re probably familiar with the metalworking process involved in producing quality investment castings. However, you may not be quite certain if the design for your component is ideal for this type of production process. To give you an idea about the main qualities that make it ideal for you to […]

To produce many specific metal components, the metal undergoes certain processes to achieve the shape and quality. For products like investment castings components, it needs to undergo a rigorous process called machining. This process is very complicated and crucial to the quality of the metalwork. You also need to remember […]

Investment castings, which are often referred to as lost-wax castings, are metal parts that are produced by the investment casting process. This expendable mold process and the components that it produces is extremely popular for countless applications in numerous industries. This is largely due to the fact that the investment […]
