Investment casting (silica sol process)

Investment casting (silica sol process) is a precise manufacturing process where a wax pattern is coated with a ceramic shell made from a silica sol slurry. After the wax is melted and drained, a cavity remains. Molten metal is then poured into the ceramic mould, creating intricate and accurate castings with fine surface finishes, ideal for complex parts in various industries.

Benefits

  • Reduced Post-Casting Processing: The excellent surface finish and dimensional accuracy often reduce the need for extensive post-casting machining.
  • Intricate Detail: Silica sol investment casting excels in producing intricate and complex designs with high precision, making it ideal for components with fine details.
  • Superior Surface Finish: The process yields parts with a smooth and refined surface, reducing the need for extensive post-casting finishing.
  • Dimensional Accuracy: Tight tolerances are achieved, minimizing the need for additional machining and ensuring precise component measurements.
  • Consistency: Investment casting (silica sol process) offers consistent and repeatable results, essential for maintaining product quality and specifications.
  • High-Quality Castings: Silica sol casting produces high-quality parts with minimal defects, enhancing the overall performance of the component.
