Tin Bronze Impeller: Silica – Sol Investment Casting process

The Marvel of Tin Bronze Impeller

A Tin Bronze Impeller is a key component in many industrial applications. Manufactured through the intricate Silica – Sol Investment Casting process, and made from the high – grade ASTM B584 C92200/C90500 material, it stands out for its exceptional qualities.

Corrosion – Resistant Advantage

One of the most prominent features of a Tin Bronze Impeller is its remarkable corrosion resistance. Tin bronze can withstand the corrosive effects of the atmosphere, seawater, fresh water, and steam. In power generating sets, where steam is prevalent, the impeller remains durable, ensuring continuous and efficient operation. In shipbuilding, its resistance to seawater corrosion is invaluable. It helps in maintaining the performance of marine equipment over long voyages. For desalination plants, the ability to resist seawater is crucial, enabling the production of clean water without the worry of component degradation.

Wide – Ranging Applications

The Tin Bronze Impeller finds extensive use in nuclear and petrochemical equipment. In these industries, where reliability is non – negotiable, the impeller’s properties make it a top choice. In steam boilers, it endures the high – temperature steam environment, contributing to the boiler’s smooth functioning. For marine ship parts, it provides the necessary strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring the safety and reliability of the ship at sea.

Quality and Assurance

Our Tin Bronze Impellers, produced via Silica – Sol Investment Casting, adhere to strict quality control. The use of ASTM B584 C92200/C90500 material ensures top – notch quality. Whether it’s for large – scale industrial projects or small – scale repairs, our impellers are designed to meet the highest industry standards, offering long – lasting and efficient solutions.

Investment casting, also known as lost wax casting, is a casting method in which a pattern is made of a melt-able material, then coated with several layers of refractory material to form a shell, and the pattern is melted away after high-temperature firing, and then the molten metal is poured into the shell.

Investment casting have high precision and high surface quality, with small machining allowances, which can achieve less or no machining requires. Investment casting can cast complex thin-walled parts with complex shapes (the minimum wall thickness can reach 0.25-0.4mm), and the smallest hole diameter can reach 2.5mm.

The process normal as below:

Drawing Review ->Tooling Designing ->Tooling Manufacturing ->Wax Pattern Making ->Pattern Tree Assembly ->Dipping and Coating ->De-waxing and Firing- Pouring-Knockout ->Grinding ->Heat Treatment -> Machining(if requires) ->Inspection->Delivery
