Investment Casting integrated and complicated Components

Investment Casting: Precision for Diverse Components

Investment casting is the preferred method for crafting our range of high – performance components, including Cast Flanged Tee Pipe Fittings, Centrifugal Impellers, and Double – hole Connecting Seats. This process ensures intricate details and high – dimensional accuracy, crucial for these parts’ functionality.

Materials: CF8, CF8M, and Duplex Stainless Steel

CF8: A type of austenitic stainless steel, CF8 offers good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. It is suitable for applications where a balance between cost – effectiveness and corrosion protection is required. In the case of cast flanged tee pipe fittings, CF8 can withstand a variety of fluids and environmental conditions commonly encountered in industrial piping systems.

CF8M: Also an austenitic stainless steel, CF8M contains molybdenum, which significantly enhances its corrosion resistance, especially in reducing media and against various acids, alkalis, and salts. For centrifugal impellers, the high corrosion resistance of CF8M is essential as they often come into contact with corrosive liquids during operation.

Duplex Stainless Steel: Comprising a mix of austenitic and ferritic phases, duplex stainless steel combines the strength of ferritic steel with the corrosion resistance of austenitic steel. This makes it an ideal choice for double – hole connecting seats, which may need to endure high – stress environments while resisting corrosion.

Applications

Our cast flanged tee pipe fittings are widely used in plumbing, oil and gas, and chemical processing industries. The centrifugal impellers are crucial in pumps used in water treatment plants, refineries, and power generation facilities. Double – hole connecting seats find applications in machinery where secure connections between different components are required, such as in construction equipment and industrial machinery.

Quality Assurance

Through investment casting, we ensure that each product made from CF8, CF8M, or duplex stainless steel meets the highest quality standards. Stringent quality control measures are in place from raw material inspection to the final product testing, guaranteeing the reliability and performance of our Cast Flanged Tee Pipe Fittings, Centrifugal Impellers, and Double – hole Connecting Seats.

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
