Advantages of Investment CastingVeröffentlichte Zeit:2020-03-19 15:01 INVESTMENT CASTING VS SAND CASTING · Ceramic mold casting cavityproduces a smooth finish · Typical surface finish of 125Ra as cast · Holds a .005”/inch tolerancefor majority of applications · Low amount of machiningrequired after casting INVESTMENT CASTING VS DIE CASTING · Wax is injected into analuminum cavity · Aluminum has a low cost, iseasy to cut, & is inexpensive to maintain · Wax is easy on tooling,allowing it to maintain consistent parts for many uses · Can cast both ferrous &non-ferrous metals INVESTMENT CASTING VS FORGING · Wax is injected into a patternto create desired shape · Requires less expensiveequipment · Inherently less dangerous allowingcosts to remain lower · Reduced machining due toinvestment casted parts ability to hold tighter tolerances INVESTMENT CASTING VS METAL FABRICATION · Created by pouring molten metalinto a ceramic shell · Low scrap waste due toconsistency in castings reduces final cost · Shorter labor time reduces leadtimes & costs · Offers one continuous part thathas a consistent & clean look to the end user INVESTMENT CASTING VS MACHINING · Economic way to produce highdefinition, complex detail parts · Reduced waste, labor time &machine time lowers cost · Shorter labor time reduces leadtimes & costs |
