What is Investment Casting?
Investment casting is a process that has been around for a long time and it is used to create parts with complex geometry. It can be used when there are objects with higher melting point temperatures, which cannot easily be made by gypsum or metal. Investment casting is popular because it can create intricate shapes with very precise details.Investment casting is perfect for creating intricate items with a smooth finish. Customers love the way it allows them to work with virtually any metal or alloy. Some examples of other products made with investment casting are door knobs, medical equipment, car parts, airplane parts, cooking utensils and much more.
Applications
Investment casting can be used to create a wide range of parts, from small details to complex industrial products. It creates smooth, high-quality product. Investment castings can be made entirely out of metal and are often used for door knobs, medical tools, car parts, airplane components, kitchenware, gearbox cases, cylinder heads and more.What’s Materials Can Be choice?
Although there are many different materials that can be used for investment casting, aluminum and aluminum alloys are by far the most common. Alloy steels like stainless steel and carbon steel, and metals like copper and titanium are also popular choices.Titanium
Titanium is both strong and light, so it is often used for things like turbochargers, industrial tools and components in the aerospace and defense industries.Steel
Steel is an iron alloy that is often used in heavy-duty engineering like hardware, bridges, and carpentry. This steel will often be reinforced with carbon or other metals to make it tough and durable.Copper
Copper is one of the first metals ever used by humans. It is highly ductile and makes excellent conductors of heat and electricity. Copper is also used to make many alloys, such as brass, which are commonly used for pipes, jewelry, mixer parts and more.Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a metal alloy made of iron and chromium. It’s hard, durable and resistant to heat, corrosion, and oxidation. It’s used primarily for objects that are exposed to the elements such as cars, kitchenware, appliances, and equipment.Aluminum
Aluminum is a metal which is found in the earth’s crust. It is lightweight, conductive, durable, reflective, and machinable. Aluminum investment castings are typically used in packaging, transportation and construction.Benefits
Investment casting methods allow for more exact and reproducible castings to be created. Designers are able to create castings with the properties that they want for their products thanks to the flexibility of this process. Parts can also be made of varying thicknesses and weights, from less than 16lbs up to 1000 lbs. Complex parts can be made with investment casting too, as there are no limitations on the tools used.So, production costs are low and the surfaces produced in this process are exceptionally smooth. Investment castings also have a sustainable quality that requires little energy to perform and you can reuse production materials. To see if this process is right for you, talk to an investment casting company.
How to Find the Right Manufacturer
Now that you know all about investment casting, are you ready to find a manufacturer? If so, you’ve come to the right place. To help get you on your way, we’ve done some of the work for you and have found several experienced and reliable investment casting companies. Before you scroll up to look at them, make sure you know all of your specifications. These include the type of part you want, your request volume, your required product properties (durability, corrosion resistance, etc.), your timeline, your budget, your standard/industry requirements, and your delivery preferences.
Once you have determined what specifications your product needs to meet, then start by reading through the manufacturers listed above. As you look, remember that the more stringent your requirements are, the less likely it will be for a company to have a competitively priced product. You should choose three or four manufacturers with whom you would like to speak, and then ask them for quotes. Once you’ve checked that they’re able to produce what you’re looking for and that they will complete the task with honesty, then you can send them some specifications.Good customer service is important. Reach out to the one you like and get started.
