Investment castings reduce or eliminate alternate manufacturing processes such as hog-outs and are designed for multiple quantities of same size parts.


RawCastingComplete

Wax InjectionThe process begins with a waxpattern. This wax pattern is made by injecting molten wax into an aluminum mold or pattern.

Shell BuildingThe shell building involves dipping the pattern assembly into a ceramic slurry, then into fine sand. After that dries, the process is repeated multiple times.

Firing the MoldThe now hallow ceramic shell is fired to burn out residual wax material. The hollow mold is then prepared for casting by firing it to 2000 degrees F (1100 C). ,

Shell RemovalAfter the metal solidifies and cools, the ceramic shell is removed.

Finishing OperationRemaining gate protrusions are removed by belt grinding.

Pattern AssemblyThe wax pattern receives gates andis attached by the gates to a central wax runner system which is called a tree or setup.

De-wax OperationThe completed shell is placed into a steam autoclave where the wax pattern material is melted out.

CastingThe preheated shell is filled with molten metal by gravity pouring.

CutoffIndividual castings are then removed from the setup by friction saw/cut off wheel.

Investment Casting Process; Flow Chart


Completed Part

Heat Treat (A)The individual castings areheated to a desired range to soften their properties.

StraighteningInvestment casting’s (all alloy’s) typically require this process step to insure dimensions meet all drawing requirements.

MachiningAny dimensions that cannot be cast into the parts are now manufactured at this step.

Surface FinishFinal surface finishing is now applied such as paint, prime or cad plate. Finial Inspect

& Part MarkingParts are visual inspected, dimensionally inspected and all part marking is applied.

Nondestructive Testing (NDT)

Depending on part requirement.Penetrant, Magnetic Particle and Radiographic inspections may be performed.

Heat Treat (B)The individual castings are heated to a desired range to harden their properties.

NDT (Final)After straightening, heat treat and machining, part require final NDT

AssemblyAs required, the installation of bushings or bearings will be installed at this step.
