Investment Casting Benefits
Investment Casting offers greater design freedom (complex intricate shapes easily as well as assemblies cast as one part), greater investment casting alloy selection to best meet your investment casting application), improved surface finishes and a greater opportunity for cost and weight reduction. Also known as lost wax Investment Casting, investment Castings will enhance the design and the performance of your mechanical components. Consolidated Casting offers Investment Castings to precision tolerances of +/- .005 inch per inch and to machined like surfaces of 125 RMS. Learn more about Investment Casting here.
Weight Reduction
- Thin wall IC steel castings offer maximum strength to weight ratios
Premium Casting Tolerances
- Tolerances of .003 - .005" can reduce or eliminate costly secondary machining and can often result in a new cast part with little or no waste of material
Excellent Design Flexibility
- Consolidated Casting Corporation has the ability to cast complex shapes and eliminate multi-part fabrications and sub-assemblies
- Investment castings can better satisfy fit, form and functional requirements
- Duplicated precisely in small numbers (hundreds, thousands or even millions)\
- With proportionate cost advantages
- No concessions need to be made for draft angles or other alternative process limitations
Lower Tooling & Part Cost
- Tooling for molding of the required wax patterns
- Is often less expensive than conventional diecast tooling
- Is produced in less time than other types of pattern tooling, resulting in shorter lead times
- Can be single cavity manual operation or multi-cavity automatic tooling
- Can reduce total costs for finished parts
- Has potential life expectancy up to 50 years and one million pieces
