Description

Investment casting is a multi-step process that produces near-net shape precision casting parts. The process begins with wax being injected into a die to create a pattern of the finished product. The patterns are then affixed to wax runner bars to create the cluster. A special machine dips the cluster repeatedly into a slurry to develop a ceramic shell, and then the wax is removed in a steam autoclave. Once the wax is removed, the ceramic shell is fired and then filled with molten metal to create the part. Investment casting requires a metal die (usually in aluminum), wax, ceramic slurry, furnace, molten metal, and other machines needed for wax injection, sand blasting, vibratory tumbling, cutting, and grinding.
