Investment casting process

  • The process of Investment casting is called lost-wax casting and is one of the oldest metal making process.
  • The investment casting manufacturers replicate the features and details of an original sculpture to cast multiple identical metal parts.
  • Intricate designs of the metal parts are successfully replicated through investment casting.
  • The fundamental steps of the investment casting process -
  • A pattern is designed in the form of an original wax model similar to the sample metal part that needs to be manufactured.
  • After the wax pattern is made, mold making is done for the casting process. The outer rigid mold is made when the wax pattern is dipped in a ceramic slurry and sand-like stucco.
  • The wax pattern is dipped in the slurry many times to get the desired thickness of the outer mold or shell. This mold becomes the exact negative of the original wax pattern.
  • The wax-shell assembly is sprued with a tree-like structure to allow the molten metal to flow and provide a path for the air to escape. The shell-coated wax assembly is put in a kiln.
  • There the shell gets hardened and due to the high temperature the wax is melted and drained out. The melted wax from the shell can be reused in the next investment casting process.
  • The shell is cooled and water is flown into the shell through the vent tubes and feeder to check for any existing cracks in it, if found these cracks are then patched with a thick paste.
  • Reheating the shell helps in removing the traces of moisture left in the shell and hardens the applied paste.
  • Hot and melted metal is poured in the preheated shell. The molten metal is poured into these shells.
  • The shells are preheated and kept hot at the time of metal pouring. The reason to do so is to prevent the shell from breaking or reacting with the hot metal.
  • Later, the shell is blasted away to release the rough metal cast and for finishing, the spurs formed on the metal is cut off.
  • These spurs can be reused in another investment casting process. The metal cast is then chased to remove all the signs of casting from it and smoothen the metal surface.

What is Investment Casting and How does it work?

What is Investment Casting and How does it work? ​I nvestment casting  is a widely used industrial process for remaking metal parts. There are several casting procedures available and investment casting is one among the many of these casting processes. There are a lot of diverse factors that are responsible for determining which casting process will be deemed fit for the manufacturing of a specific metal part. Some of these diverse factors are – design requirements, feasibility, and cost to manufacture are the important ones that are considered beforehand in determining the type of casting process that will work best. If the process to be is used is investment casting, then it will be better to know the details of this process. Let’s get to understand the process of investment casting and how does it work? In this brief write up first the process of investment casting is explained and then how does it work? So, let’s get started with the first question that’s what is investment cas...

Advantages and Disadvantages of Investment Casting

Before we dive deeper and get to know the advantages and disadvantages of the investment casting, let’s revive a bit of our understanding of the process of investment casting. Investment casting is a widely and commonly used practice to produce and remake identical metal parts with complete precision by using a wax pattern and then pouring hot metal in liquid form into the wax pattern. Here’s a brief description of the investment casting process followed by a brief mention of the advantages and disadvantages of this process. Investment Casting Method The process of investment casting uses expendable wax patterns. For the process of investment casting, first and foremost, wax patterns are prepared. These wax patterns are mostly prepared by injection molding technology. In the cavity, that’s similar to the desired cast part. Then wax patterns are attached to a gating system (a set of channels) through which molten metal will flow and fill the mold cavity. Shell building is the next stag...
