When it comes to choosing materials and methods for industrial components, there is a plethora of options. But, you always want the strongest alloy castings possible for your project. Here is why you may want to consider vacuum fed castings: What is Vacuum Casting? Some natural processes can aid in the casting process, while others […]

There are several different methods and techniques that can be used in manufacturing a variety of different metal components. Based on the purpose and ultimate use of the metal part, different procedures are used to create the highest quality piece possible. While determining the best process, some arrive at the question of whether they need […]

Casting is one of the oldest manufacturing techniques dating back to 1838. While the basic casting process hasn’t changed much, today’s machines are more advanced and with improvements in technology, there are several different ways to reach your end product. Two of those common ways are die casting and investment casting. Let’s take a look […]

It’s important when looking for investment castings to make sure it is used with high-quality materials. Materials used in investment castings range from alloys to steel and aluminum. Let’s take a look at some of the best materials used in investment casting. Superalloys Gas turbine engine blades and nozzle guide vanes are the two most […]

Investment casting is one of the most popular methods used for creating metal parts that have countless applications across a variety of industries. Also called lost-wax casting or precision casting, this expendable mold process can produce complex components with excellent surface qualities and accuracy in a broad range of materials and sizes. When intricate details, […]

Lost-wax casting is one of the oldest known metal-forming techniques, dating back 6,000 years. Even though it’s among the oldest, it is still commonly employed to create jewelry and dental implants. Artists even use it in their works of art. Moreover, precision metal parts are frequently produced in engineering and manufacturing using investment casting.   […]

Investment casting and sand casting are means of producing metal parts by pouring molten metal into three-dimensional molds. Although the methods are of thousand years old, both castings have been advanced over the years to decrease the percentage of metal used and minimize any extensive finishing and machining required. However, substantial differences exist between these […]

The investment casting process is a metal casting process where a disposable wax replica, or “pattern”, which is identical to the casting desired, is produced from an injection molding type of tool. If you are thinking about using investment casting for your next project, here is some important information. Why Is It Called Investment Casting? […]

Investment castings are one of the most popular metal parts used today. If you are surprised by the previous statement, you shouldn’t be. These cast components hold countless benefits that make them an appealing option to a wide-range of businesses and industries. Investment casting provides the ultimate design flexibility for highly complex parts made from […]

When it comes to castings investment, many different materials can be used. The type of material used to make the casting largely depends on what the casting is being used for. Some materials work better under extreme temperatures, while some have more give to them. Let’s take a look at some of the different materials […]
