Precision Machining Services for Investment Castings: Your One-Stop Manufacturing Solution
Comprehensive Machining Capabilities
At China Metal Castings, we specialize in high-precision machining services to complement our investment casting expertise. Our state-of-the-art machine shop offers:
✔ CNC Turning & Milling (3-axis to 5-axis)
✔ Multi-Surface Grinding (OD/ID/Surface)
✔ Specialized Processes: EDM, Broaching, Thread Grinding
✔ Secondary Operations: Drilling, Tapping, Slotting, Reaming
Why Machining Matters for Cast Components?
Machining transforms raw castings into ready-to-assemble precision parts by:
-
Achieving tighter tolerances (up to ±0.001″)
-
Creating critical sealing surfaces
-
Adding threads, blind holes & complex geometries impossible via casting alone
Industries We Serve
From aerospace actuators to medical implant surfaces, our machining ensures:
🔹 Fluid-tight seals for pumps/valves
🔹 High-wear resistance for mining/agriculture equipment
🔹 Bio-compatible finishes for medical devices
The “Casting + Machining” Advantage
Eliminate supply chain headaches with our integrated services:
✅ Single-Source Accountability – No quality gaps between casting & machining
✅ Faster Lead Times – On-site machining avoids 3-6 week outsourcing delays
✅ Cost Savings – Reduced logistics & handling fees (up to 30% vs. traditional routing)
Case Example:
A hydraulic valve customer saved 17% annually by consolidating casting/machining with us versus using 3 vendors.
