Precision investment casting is the most popular process in the manufacturing industry for several reasons. Firstly, it allows for the production of highly complex parts with fine details and tight tolerances, making it ideal for applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical. Additionally, investment casting offers excellent repeatability and consistency, ensuring that parts are manufactured to the same high-quality standards every time. Furthermore, the process allows for the use of a wide range of materials, including alloys that are difficult or impossible to machine, providing greater design flexibility and material selection. Finally, investment casting is a cost-effective process, especially for small to medium-sized production runs, as it eliminates the need for expensive tooling and machining.

All That is not an investment casting. It’s a wax molded core used in an investment casting. The core will be dipped in the ceramic plaster slurry and the slurry will dry and encase the wax core. Once dry, the wax core will be leached out (melted) and then molten metal poured into the empty plaster shell. Once the metal solidifies, the plaster will be broken off and the metal casting will be deburred and cleaned. You will have the same geometry in metal that once was the wax core.

This isn’t why they use investment casting. This is the phase of investment casting where they make the wax investment. They then after attaching sprues, pathways for molten metal, they cover this in ceramic slurry and refractory in several coats. Then bake it off, melting the wax out of it. Then put it in a ceramics oven and bake it to harden it and preheat it for molten metal to be poured into it. This will result in a high quality surface finish and quality part that will require much less surface finishing to have a nice and smooth finish, to be painted or coated That last bit was why they investment cast parts.

"This is the phase of investment casting where they make the wax investment." They are using a die casting technique to create the investment. Fair enough.. But they are praising investment casting technique, then out of all the other parts of the investment casting process, showing the die casting technique.. 🤔 This seems confusing as investment patterns can be made other ways, including polystyrene cut and glued, and 3d printed patterns. So they're speaking of investment casting and showing us die casting😂

It is popular because it can produce an almost finished item that requires very little machining to final dimensions. Prior to this steel and other metal parts would be machined out of solid billets requiring multiple tooling. It can produce very strong and homogeneous parts. That shown was the wax master.

Rigid Poliuretane casting, perfect for car parts manufacturing.

@simiscasting 11 месяцев назад

Rigid polyurethane casting is a popular method for manufacturing car parts due to its ability to produce high-quality, durable, and precise parts. Polyurethane is a versatile material that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of different car parts, such as bumpers, spoilers, and interior components. The polyurethane casting process involves pouring a liquid polyurethane mixture into a mold, where it is allowed to cure and harden. The resulting part can then be removed from the mold and finished to meet the required specifications. One of the key benefits of rigid polyurethane casting for car parts manufacturing is the ability to produce parts with complex geometries and fine details. Additionally, polyurethane is lightweight, resistant to impact and abrasion, and has good thermal and chemical resistance, making it an ideal material for car parts that need to withstand harsh conditions. Overall, rigid polyurethane casting is a cost-effective and efficient method for producing high-quality car parts that meet the demanding requirements of the automotive industry.

Investment casting is the shit, love it Yellow lost wax is what this process is, aaaaand, well, ok it’s cheap and has its uses, but don’t try to do anything too precise and don’t allow any of the metal walls to be too thin, the molten metal might not be able to get into every small little crevice and as a result you can end up with voids and cavities that weaken those areas I know this not as an engineer but as a very unfortunate project coordinator, getting all of our shit out of China, we almost never did investment casting because of the cost, so we kept using tighter and tighter tolerances in yellow lost wax to the point that we’d routinely have up to 30 to 40% of every order that required further work(more than the standard assembly) to make it even a remotely viable part. I also had the misfortune of being in quality control too so I regularly had the “what is this shit?!” Moments Point is, investment is great for precision casting, if you want more precision I’d guess go for CNC but then you’re no longer dealing with a cast process and the cost is going to be much higher
