Investment casting is a relatively expensive technique due to its intricacy and workforce needs, but the advantages frequently exceed the disadvantages. It can be done with almost any metal. Investment casting often produces small pieces, but it can also make parts weighing up to 75 lbs. Investment Casting Application Complex Metal Parts Complex pieces can […]

In the forging process, metal is crushed into the appropriate high strength shapes under intense pressure. Usually, but not always, the operation is carried out in a heated environment by preheating the metal to the necessary temperature before it is worked. It’s vital to keep in mind that the process in forgings is completely different […]

Investment castings are one of the oldest and most popular type of metal components. The process to create these parts involves pouring molten metal into a ceramic mold. The metal solidifies within the mold and then the metal casting is broken out. Aircraft, aerospace, oil, road construction, coal mining, steel production and processing, heat treating, […]

Casting can be used to make a wide variety of products. There are also numerous materials that can be cast. One of those materials is alloy. Let’s take a look at some facts as it pertains to alloy and alloy castings. Alloy Facts An alloy is a blend of two or more metals. Many alloys […]

Did you know that manufacturers have been using the casting technique since 1838? Although the basic aspects of the casting process haven’t changed much since then, modern-day machines and technological advancements make it possible to produce end products or parts in different ways – two of which are die casting and casting investment. If you’re […]

Investment castings can be used to make a wide range of products and prototypes. It’s important when using investment castings to make your product or prototype to use the right materials. Aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, steel, and superalloys are all quality materials used. Let’s take a deeper look into each one. Aluminum Alloy Aluminum alloy […]

Perhaps the biggest problem that you’ve encountered in your attempt of producing stainless steel investment castings is shrinkage. Although these defects are invisible to the naked eye, these shrinking defects can be detected after post machining. The poor shrinkage of molten skill can be attributed to several factors, namely: The Sprue Gate’s Effect If a […]

There are many benefits to vacuum casting in the investment casting process. Before we dive into that though, let’s talk a little about what vacuum casting for investment castings is. What Is Vacuum Casting? Vacuum casting is commonly used in generating prototypes and industrial parts. It is a flexible and reliable process that requires either […]

If you need unique parts for your next project, you may want to consider choosing investment castings. Due to the fact that it offers flexibility in terms of design, these components are widely used in various industries. Primarily created by utilizing a specific mold for the series of coating and hardening processes, investment castings feature […]

Open die forging is a type of drop forging technique of deforming a metal according to the desired shape. Without any limitation, it can utilize pressure and power inflicted. Some experts even call it free forging since the process involves fewer restrictions. Features of Open Die Forging Simple Production Equipment One of the most notable […]
