Lost wax casting or investment casting is versatile but most ancient casting process suitable for manufacturing wide range of casting components precisely. In the last few years, casting industries has expanded enough to meet various industry applications. It was adopted worldwide in 1980s to meet demand of aircraft industries and aerospace outlets.
Start with creation of wax pattern using metal dies. Melted wax is injected inside metal dies to form single component. You can design multiple pieces together with the same process. Connect all these pieces together using gating system
Now leave the structure to dry. Repeat this step again until it does not become thick to withstand with high temperature.
Add the molten metal into mold and allow it to cool for some time. At the end, remove the wax replica to get finished material. Make the surface smooth if it is rough. This step is also good for giving strength to casting components.
The process allows wide range of metal selection for designing innovative casting components. You can choose any of them according to your industry usage. Secondly, investment casting process is highly affordable too. Most of the foundries love to prefer investment casting process for development variegated types of casting components.
The components designed using investment casting process re highly durable and tough. They are able to withstand with high temperature and pressure conditions. Today, there are endless foundry industries dealing with lost wax proess casting in India and worldwide.
