Value-Added Services
To enhance our investment casting solutions and deliver fully finished components, we offer a range of value-added services beyond raw casting production. These services ensure precision, efficiency, and cost savings for our customers.
In-House Tooling
Investment casting tooling (also known as wax pattern tooling) is essential for producing high-quality castings. At China Metal Casting, our skilled in-house toolmakers collaborate closely with engineers and quality inspectors to ensure every tool meets exact specifications.
Why Choose Our Tooling Services?
-
On-the-spot problem-solving – Our team frequently meets directly on the tooling floor to resolve issues in real time.
-
Cost and time savings – Avoiding tooling rework is critical, as a single revision can cost 1,000–10,000 and delay production by 3–5 weeks.
-
Precision-built tooling – We guarantee accuracy from the first iteration, reducing lead times and ensuring consistent quality.
Machining Services
Machining transforms raw casting blanks into finished components with tight tolerances and complex geometries. We offer both conventional and CNC machining to meet diverse requirements.
Our Machining Capabilities Include:
-
Turning & Milling – From basic lathe work to 5-axis CNC milling for intricate shapes.
-
Grinding – Surface, OD (outer diameter), and ID (inner diameter) grinding for fine finishes.
-
EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) – Wire EDM and die-sink EDM for precision cutting of hardened metals.
-
Broaching, Threading & Holemaking – Keyway broaching, single-point threading, tapping, reaming, and boring.
Benefits:
✔ High precision – Tight tolerances (±0.005mm achievable).
✔ Versatility – Machining for stainless steel, aluminum, superalloys, and more.
✔ One-stop solution – Eliminate multiple vendors by combining casting and machining under one roof.
Heat Treatment
Heat treatment enhances the mechanical properties of metal castings without altering their shape. While often used to increase strength, it also improves:
-
Machinability – Softens metals for easier cutting and shaping.
-
Formability – Restores ductility after cold working.
-
Durability – Enhances wear resistance, toughness, and fatigue life.
Our Heat Treatment Processes:
-
Annealing – Relieves internal stresses and refines grain structure.
-
Quenching & Tempering – Balances hardness and toughness.
-
Solution Treatment (for superalloys) – Optimizes corrosion resistance.
-
Precipitation Hardening – Increases strength in stainless steels and nickel alloys.
Why It Matters?
Proper heat treatment ensures your castings meet performance standards while extending service life in demanding applications.
