Investment Casting (Lost Wax Casting)
Investment casting, also known as lost wax casting, is a high-precision metal casting process widely used in modern manufacturing. The process begins by creating a wax pattern of the part, which is then coated with layers of ceramic or refractory material. Once the mold hardens, the wax is melted and drained, leaving a hollow shell. Molten metal is then poured into the mold to form the final precision cast component.
- Advantages: High dimensional accuracy, smooth surface finish, suitable for small batch production, and compatible with stainless steel and other alloys.
- Applications: Commonly used for small and complex parts such as automotive exhaust connectors, machinery fittings, and precision stainless steel components.
Sand Casting
Sand casting is one of the most traditional and versatile metal casting methods, widely used for producing medium to large-sized metal components across various industries. In this process, a pattern of the desired part is pressed into sand to create a cavity. Molten metal is then poured into the mold, and after cooling and solidification, the sand mold is broken to remove the finished casting.
- Advantages: Flexible and cost-effective, suitable for large or heavy parts, compatible with aluminum, iron, and steel materials.
- Applications: Commonly used for automotive parts, agricultural machinery components, valve housings, and industrial equipment structures.
