The Seven Secrets You Will Never Know About Investment Castings Manufacturing Process

Investment casting is a complex and trendy manufacturing process. To build robust and high dimension metal parts, investment casting is prime technique preferred by every manufacture. It’s a traditional technique which also known for lost wax casting, in which mold is designed as per desired shape in that ferrous or nonferrous material is injected. All the manufacture followed same technique with the only difference of raw material and designs.

Investment Castings

• Incapacity Dimensional: 1″ to 24″
• Tolerance: .003″
• Lbs. per casting: Ounces to 75 lbs.
• Volume Capacity: 300 to 100,000

In the digital market and innovation trend, investment casting is also improves its techniques as well as exclusive technology to build more precise and stronger casting products. Energy Technocast famous for manufacture detailed and standard quality casting products with the help of exclusive techniques at the best price in India.

The most important factor in manufacturing casting parts is accurate dimension as well as reliability, analyze and test components continuously to achieve perfect dimensional accuracy as well as customer satisfaction.

If you still follow traditional procedure then surely you will faces some of the hazards like over timing outcomes, wastage of materials, inaccuracy in dimension, etc. that’s why it’s compulsory to stay advanced and apply new technology in manufacturing process to stay ahead in competitor marketplace.

Latest technologies are more flexible and comfortable in nature which makes manufacturer to build flawless casting components in short duration of time. Some of the important tricks and techniques are given below that surely helps you to improve manufacturing process.

Secrets of Investment Castings Manufactures

• New improvement and innovation applied in process such as lost foam casting instead of manual wax.
  
• Computer-based visualization tools for die casters to produce 100% accurate dimension of components
  
• Increasing in manufacturing rate of components.
  
• Mixture and alloy of different metals are used to build more robust and reliable components, which are high in demands now days.
  
• Computerized designing gives flexibility along with high detailing
  
• Reduces the time of manufacturing i.e. lower the range of hours.
  
• Oxygen tanks are the trend of new investment casting manufacturing, because it’ll run out quickly round about 20 min. of usage.

Last words, it’s necessary to follow modern technology and procedure and sustain in the high competition marketplace. Hope these modern trends will help you to manufacture superior quality casting component. Waiting for your ideas and views in comments.

What is casting ? Different type and process of casting

In the mechanical industry casting is a process to develop or build different parts which has various shape and size along with perfect finishing. The products which are built through this process are known as casting products. In the casting process mold is created as per desired shape and pattern in which metal is poured and after the cooling phase it become exact or desired casting parts.

Casting process is a traditional process it has been known from thousands of years, and most popular method to develop small and accurate casting parts. There are mainly three procedures to develop casting parts such as Expendable Mold, Non-Expendable (Permanent) Mold, and Other. In these procedures mainly water & clay mold, Investment casting and die casting are famous sub process.

Investment casting is also known as lost wax casting, it’s one of the oldest metals forming technique. This process is ensure and guaranteed to produce superior and high quality components. In the investment casting foundry excellent and precise casting components are building, sometimes complex or critical design products also manufactured.

In the non-expandable casting mainly non-ferrous metals are used to produce casting parts, set up process of mold is time consuming but after that it produce around 10-50 pieces/hr-mold. These products are high in tensile strength compare to other casting. Generally iron, magnesium, aluminum alloys and nickel alloy casting are used to produce durable components.

Sand casting is one of the easiest and popular types of casting, it allows small groups to produce numerous number of casting such as 5-25 pieces/hr-mold. In this type of process most of the metals are applicable as per sand is used.

In the continuous casting production remain continuous with the help of reused and refinement mold. The product which are manufactures are premium in quality and strength, metals like steel, aluminum and copper are generally used to produce huge range of casting parts. This type of huge casting production is offered by Energy Technocast Pvt. Ltd. with an international standard and quality at the lowest price.

Last words, Different casting manufacturer uses various casting technique to produce high quality and durable casting components. Some of the other detailed casting types are available, hope present casting types are useful.

Why is Lost Wax Casting so Famous?

Investment casting is a process in which pattern of parts are molded, the wax pattern of part design and coated with refractory ceramic substance. After the material becomes tough internal geometry takes the form of casting. This complete process is also known as Lost Wax Casting. The product should be manufactured using superior quality raw materials as per international standards and specification, to produce high quality casting equipment. If the primary material is lower in quality then final casting product may be unwanted and faulty for longer period.

The casting design and specification may differ as per industrial requirements and usage of the customers. With the help of accurate and precise investment casting various parts like aerospace parts, power plant boiler parts, non-ferrous and ferrous parts, marine parts, industrial valves & pumps, firefighting equipment, jewelry, turbine blades etc. are manufactured. 

In the investment casting generally two procedure are followed, Silica Sol Process and Water Glass Process. Silica sol process mainly used for manufacture smaller design parts while Water glass process used for larger design parts like grey iron, alloy steel, carbon steel, and ductile iron. Apart from this lost wax casting is highly popular process to manufacture investment casting parts.

Advantages of Lost Wax Casting 

1. This process provides higher design flexibility, means complex shapes casting parts can be possible.
2. It provides greater details, close tolerances and excellent outward finishing.
3. It’ll reduce material cost and produce near net cast products.
4. It eliminates expensive and costly fabrications.
5. With the help of lost wax any metal can be cast.

Disadvantages of Lost Wax Casting

1. Labor cost is expensive
2. The process of manufacturing is lengthy that’s why it’s time consuming process
3. At one point casting size can’t exceed
4. Rarely or occasionally found faults

Applications

• Medical field
• Automobile industry
• Military
• Marine
• Defense
• Industrial Gas Turbine
• Industrial Pumps & Valves
• Industrial boiler parts
• Ferrous & Non-Ferrous parts
• Firefighting parts

Last Words, Lost wax casting is highly popular and affordable manufacturing process, for better quality and finishing always follow this process. Looking forward to your views and ideas in comments.
