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.
