Steel Investment Castings

Steel Investment Castings Facts:

1. Used for complex or intricate parts not suitable to machining
2. Usually requires a certain amount of lead time
3. Usually best for production rates that are low-volume
4. Ideal where a smooth surface is needed
5. Also the choice for tight casting tolerances
6. Steel casting techniques utilize one of the following processes:
7. Lost wax casting
1. Soluble glass process
2. Sodium silicate shell
3. Complex shell process

Limitless Possibilities with Stainless

The mechanical properties of stainless castings are virtually unlimited. Post-production heat treatment can result in a metal piece that is not only durable but fabricated out of the hardest of all metals used in lost wax casting.

Another advantage to precision castings is that two separate pieces that might require welding can actually be cast in a single process. This eliminates possible failure due to a weld when the part is used for critical applications.
