Investment Casting Process Custom Steel Casting Components

Investment casting has held a significant position in the manufacturing industry. Lantian Precision Machinery Manufacturing is specialized in investment casting process for 30 years on custom steel casting components.

Investment Casting Processing in our foundry:

Wax Pattern Creation: High-precision molds are used to create wax patterns, ensuring accurate dimensions and a smooth surface finish.
Shell Mold Formation: Advanced shell-building materials and techniques, such as silica sol or sodium silicate or composite shell, are applied layer by layer to form a strong, heat-resistant shell mold.
Dewaxing and Firing: Steam or high-temperature dewaxing is employed, followed by high-temperature firing to remove residual wax from the shell mold and enhance its strength.
Melting and Pouring: Appropriate melting equipment and processes are selected based on the casting material, with strict control over pouring temperature and speed to ensure complete mold filling.
Post-Processing: Techniques such as shot blasting, cutting, and grinding are used to remove the shell mold and risers from the casting surface. Necessary heat treatment and surface finishing are also applied to improve the casting’s performance.
