Product Introduction

FGE60-2 lost wax investment casting of ductile iron

Which parts are suitable for investment casting?

Investment casting for the following applications:

1 Parts weigh between 200g and 50kg

Although investment casting can also form large castings, it is more suitable for forming small and medium-sized castings. On the one hand, when the casting is too large, the dimensional accuracy is difficult to ensure; On the other hand, mold costs and processing costs will be relatively high. Sand casting is a better choice for large castings.

Investment casting is more ideal when forming small parts, dimensional accuracy is easier to ensure, and the cost is affordable.

2 Medium and high volume production

Investment casting first needs to process wax molds and other tooling fixtures, which requires a certain investment in fixed assets, so it is more suitable for medium and large volume production.

3 High dimensional accuracy requirements

Relative to other casting processes, the dimensional accuracy of investment casting is the highest.

4 When it is necessary to reduce and remove machining

Because of the high dimensional accuracy and good surface finish of investment casting, investment casting can remove machining, even if machining is required, the workload of machining is less than other casting processes.

5 When the internal structure of the part is complex

When the internal structure of the part is complex, investment casting may be the best choice.

Investment casting can form extremely complex parts because there is no demudding problem in investment casting, and the mold used to pour molten metal is ceramic, which can easily fall off when cooled and solidified.

Through creative molds, soluble wax cores, or ceramic cores, the internal structure of the wax mold that is coated to form a ceramic shell can be easily obtained.

Therefore, there are no restrictions on the internal details of the part in investment casting.

Typical applications of investment casting

Investment casting has a wide range of applications, such as aerospace, power generation, automotive, military, commercial, food, gas, oil and energy industries, such as turbine gas turbines, water turbine engines and other blades, impels, guides, guide wheels and automobiles, tractors, pneumatic tools, small parts on machine tools, and crafts.
