Investment casting process
Investment casting, also known as lost wax casting, including wax pressure, wax repair, group tree, dip slurry, wax melting, casting metal liquid and post-processing process. Lost wax casting is made of wax to cast parts with wax, wax and then coated with mud, which is mud. Mud dry, add hot water in internal wax melting. The melting end clay mold wax removal and roasting into ceramic mold. Roast at once. When the general mold is made, the sprue is left, and then molten metal is poured from the sprue. After cooling, the required parts are made.
Investment casting requires a little or no addition cutting, also known as the lost wax casting in the past, the parts made by investment castings are accuracy in dimensional and surface quality are better than other casting method. In addition, it can be used for some high complexity, not easy processing casting parts.
