Precision Casting: Overview

Investment casting is a process in which a wax model of an object is molded into a ceramic mold. Wax is used because it is easy to work with and can be melted down and recycled. A wax pattern is coated with ceramic powder and heated until the wax melts, forming a hard shell. The solid ceramic coating is turned upside down and heated again to melt the wax out, leaving a layer of ceramic powder which becomes a replaceable shielding material. Molten metal is poured into a mold and cooled. The cast metal is then knocked out of the finished mold.

Investment casting, also called the lost-wax casting process, is where a pattern is surrounded by refractory materials and then melted out, leaving a cavity for molten metal. This process results in very fine details and an excellent surface finish. Investment castings can be molded with thin walls and intricate internal transitions that cannot be made using other casting processes, such as sand casting. Net or near-net castings made from metal can reduce material, labor, and machining costs. These castings can be produced from various metals, including bronze, magnesium, aluminum, and stainless steel.

Precision castings are used to make a variety of products, including turbine blades for aircraft and power plants, medical devices such as knee replacements, firearm components like trigger mechanisms and bolts, tools used in manufacturing and construction, jewelry made from precious metals, and many other machine components with complex geometries.
