Investment Casting Products: Precision Industrial Castings

Investment Casting Products are high – precision components manufactured through the investment casting process. Leesh Holdings Investment Casting Foundry is one of the suppliers of such products. The following is a detailed introduction:
  • Product Types and Applications: Investment casting parts and components cover a wide range, including high – pressure common rails, nozzle rings, rocker arms, etc. in the automotive field; housings, manifolds, etc. in the industrial field; and some components in the aerospace field, such as aircraft engine parts. These products are usually made of stainless steel, alloy steel, aluminum alloy and other materials.
  • Investment Casting Process: Also known as precision casting or lost – wax casting, this process first creates a wax pattern, then assembles it into a tree – like structure and coats it with a ceramic shell. After de – waxing, firing, metal pouring, cooling, and finishing, the final product is obtained. This process can produce products with complex shapes, high precision, and excellent surface finish.
  • Advantages of Investment Casting Products: They have high and consistent dimensional accuracy, which can reduce the need for subsequent machining. The surface finish is excellent, and precise details such as holes, lettering, and threads can be directly cast. Moreover, a variety of alloy materials can be cast, with strong material adaptability.
  • Leesh Holdings Investment Casting Foundry: It is located in Shenyang, China, and is a multifaceted enterprise group. It provides a series of services including investment casting, sand casting, die – casting, forging, machining, and fabrication. Relying on its own foundry and professional employees, it is committed to manufacturing high – quality products, strictly controlling the production process to meet the highest industry standards.

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
