What is Investment Casting?
​​​​​​​

Investment casting is one of the most sophisticated casting processes, enabling intricate shapes while still maintaining high dimensional accuracy and high surface quality. Investment casting can be used to cast almost any metal satisfying application requirements in diverse end-markets.

Investment casting is a metal forming process that generally involves using a wax pattern surrounded by a ceramic shell to form a ceramic mold. Once the ceramic shell is dry, the wax is melted out, and the ceramic mold is formed. Molten metal is then poured into the ceramic mold to form a casting component. The ceramic mold is subsequently removed, and the casting components are created.

Some investment castings require a secondary machining process after casting. Investment casting is usually used to produce parts in complex shapes with high precision and surface requirement.

                                                     The Benefits of Investment Casting


*Excellent Accuracy
Investment casting parts are controlled within a high tolerance range, usually achieving precision requirements of tens of micrometers or even smaller. This high-precision size control enables precision castings to have better interchangeability and compatibility during assembly and use.

*Material Versatility
Investment casting is compatible with various metals and alloys, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, bronze, etc. This versatility ensures that you can choose the most suitable material for the specific performance required for the final part, such as heat resistance, strength, or corrosion resistance.

*Suitable for Complex and Intricate Designs
Investment casting is an excellent choice for producing complex parts with curved surface structure, inner cavity structure, complex curved surface and so on. The wax molds and ceramic molds contribute to the high levels of detail and complexity.

*Produces Near-Net-Shape Parts
Investment casting parts require almost no additional machining or finishing after casting, thereby saving time and reducing costs. This is particularly advantageous for parts with complex geometric shapes or parts made of hard materials that are difficult to machine.

*Dense Structure and Excellent Performance
Precision cast steel castings have a dense structure with few defects such as porosity and shrinkage, and excellent mechanical properties, which can meet the requirements of high strength, high toughness, wear resistance, etc.
