Leesh Holdings’ Investment Casting Mastery for Cast Hubs

Leesh Holdings is renowned for its proficiency in the investment casting process, a technique that brings unparalleled precision to the manufacturing of cast hubs. This method, also known as precision casting, is the cornerstone of creating high – quality axle hubs and wheel hubs.

Investment Casting Process

Investment casting at Leesh Holdings involves creating a wax pattern of the desired hub. This pattern is then carefully coated with a ceramic shell. Once the shell is hardened, the wax is melted out, leaving a hollow cavity. Molten metal is then poured into this cavity, taking the shape of the original wax pattern. After cooling and solidification, the ceramic shell is removed, revealing a near – net – shape cast hub with exceptional dimensional accuracy and surface finish.

Axle Hubs

Axle hubs manufactured by Leesh Holdings play a crucial role in the transmission of power and support of vehicle loads. The investment – cast axle hubs are designed to withstand high stress and torque, ensuring smooth operation of the vehicle’s drivetrain. The precision of the casting process allows for tight tolerances, which are essential for proper fitment with other components such as bearings and axles. This not only improves the overall performance of the axle but also enhances its durability, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and replacement.

Wheel Hubs

Wheel hubs are another key product in Leesh Holdings’ cast hub portfolio. These hubs are responsible for connecting the wheels to the vehicle’s suspension system. The investment – cast wheel hubs offer excellent strength – to – weight ratio, contributing to better fuel efficiency and vehicle handling. The high – quality finish achieved through investment casting also helps in preventing corrosion, ensuring the longevity of the wheel hub. Whether it’s for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, or industrial machinery, Leesh Holdings’ wheel hubs are engineered to meet the stringent requirements of different applications.

Quality Assurance

Leesh Holdings maintains strict quality control measures throughout the investment casting process for cast hubs. From the selection of raw materials to the final inspection of the finished product, every step is closely monitored. This ensures that each axle hub and wheel hub meets the highest industry standards, providing customers with reliable and high – performance components. With Leesh Holdings’ investment – cast cast hubs, you can expect precision, durability, and top – notch quality for your vehicle or machinery.

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

Leesh holdings is the key leading supplier of investment cast parts to both China market and global market.Through many years development, our casting parts now services in railway, automobile and truck, construction machinery, mining machinery, forklift truck, agricultural machinery, ship, petroleum machinery, construction, pump valve, mechanical and electrical, hardware tools, electric power equipment, etc.
