Characteristics and advantages of investment casting methods

Characteristics of investment casting china methods

  1. It can cast complex castings of various alloys, especially high-temperature alloy castings. For example, the blade of a jet engine, its streamlined outline and cooling cavity, can hardly be formed by machining technology. Production with investment casting process can not only achieve mass production, ensure the consistency of castings, but also avoid the stress concentration of residual knife marks after machining.
  2. The dimensional accuracy of investment castings is relatively high, generally up to CT4-6 (CT10~13 for sand casting and CT5~7 for die casting). Of course, due to the complex process of investment casting china, there are many factors that affect the dimensional accuracy of castings. For example, the shrinkage of the mold material, the deformation of the investment mold, the linear change of the shell during heating and cooling, the shrinkage of the alloy, and the deformation of the casting during the solidification process, so the dimensional accuracy of ordinary investment castings is relatively high, However, its consistency still needs to be improved (the size consistency of castings with medium and high temperature waxes should be improved a lot).
  3. When pressing the investment mold, the pressure type with high surface smoothness of the cavity is used, so the surface smoothness of the investment mold is also relatively high. In addition, the shell is made of a refractory coating made of a special high-temperature resistant adhesive and refractory material, which is coated on the investment mold, and the inner surface of the cavity directly in contact with the molten metal has a high smoothness. Therefore, the surface finish of investment castings is higher than that of general castings, generally reaching Ra.1.6~3.2μm.
  4. The biggest advantage of investment casting china is that because investment castings have high dimensional accuracy and surface finish, machining work can be reduced, but only a small amount of processing allowance can be left on the parts with higher requirements, or even some Castings are only left for grinding and polishing, and can be used without machining. It can be seen that the use of investment casting method can greatly save machine tool equipment and processing man-hours, and greatly save metal raw materials.
