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 that there are various tools […]

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 casting process makes it possible […]

When it comes to investing in the proper components for your next project, one method you should consider is investment castings. This method can utilize alloy castings and more to make the best components possible. The Process There are primarily two ways that investment castings are made, gravity fed and vacuum casting. Gravity fed casting […]

Carpenter 20 is a highly resistant alloy prized for its exceptional durability and strength, especially in investment castings. This metal is composed of nickel, chromium, molybdenum, and copper, which make it highly resistant to corrosion and acidic environments.  Also known as Alloy 20, it is often used in industries requiring extreme corrosion resistance, including chemical, […]

If you have a project of metal parts and you’re not quite sure about the production process that it requires, it’s best to look into the investment casting technique. Better yet, talk to an expert at producing investment castings and other engineered metal products. In most cases, people choose the investment casting method when they […]

If you’re acquainted with the fabrication of investment castings, you probably know how essential heat treatments are irrespective of whether your project requires ferrous or non-ferrous alloys. Without the critical phase of applying heat treatments, the mechanical properties of the materials used will not be adequately enhanced.  Therefore, a range of heat treatment processes along […]

Do you plan to choose investment castings for your next project? The production of these precision-engineered parts allows you to reduce energy, material waste, and additional machining. However, before choosing investment casting, the following factors need to be considered: Cost of Tooling When it comes to selecting the tooling options you need for investment casting, […]

Lost-wax castings are commonly known as precision castings or investment castings. It is a procedure of designing and building an object with the use of a variety of metals. From simple to complex objects, lost-wax casting use metals like bronze, brass, silver, or gold to create an original pattern or model. The Lost-Wax Casting Process […]

A large manufacturer of industrial motors requested Ferralloy, Inc. to redesign an internal motor component, so as to eliminate a large portion of the machining required to finish it.By utilizing the investment casting process, the company was able to reduce the weight of the casting and actually ‘cast in’ a few features that were machined […]
