What is Advantage of Investment Casting ?

/in /by

Investment Casting is a versatile method which has many advantages over other technologies such as machining, forging, sintering or other casting processes.

You can benefit from the advantages of investment casting in the production of your components:

  • High level of design flexibility enables complex geometries to be achieved in a single cast
  • Intricate structures
  • Near net shape castings with reduced machining requirement
  • High dimension accuracy
  • Excellent surface finish
  • Wide range of materials and alloys assuring rigorous implementation of customer requirements
  • Economic viability, cost-effective production from single items through to large-scale production

How to ensure these features mentioned above ? Below is the whole process of investment casting . As this is precision casting , mold developing is at least 2 weeks , the manufacturing time is at least 25-30 days , and any improper step operation will effect the next steps,the loss caused by the improper operation can not be repairable in most times, that is why you must rely on a professional and experienced investment casting factory!
