Investment Casting Process Equipments Products

The Investment Casting is an engineering method that can make the most similar figure of targeted products, and as a result, the whole production cost can be decreased.

Modern Demands of a Casting Process

Against this background, attention turned to lost wax casting to produce accurately shaped blades. In meeting this challenge, four key problems had to be solved:

  • Castings had to be reproducible within close dimensional limits
  • Casting had to be produced in high melting point alloys
  • There had to be high standards of metallurgical quality
  • Costs had to be lower than for alternative techniques.

The Process includes the following:

 
Step 1 : Tooling
            Making Die for Wax pattern injection.
            Design the locations of gate & feeder.

 

Step 2 : Injection
            Injection type ; Automatic, semi-auto, & plastic Injection M/C.
            Setting the injected wax patterns on the fixtures.

 

Step 3 : Set-Up
            Assembly the patterns on drum.
            The patterns are attached to the drum for making a set-up cluster.

 

Step 4 : Slurry Dip
            The assembled mold is coated with a fine grain ceramic slurry using a specially designed vacuum machine.
            To insure a uniform coating, automatically lowered & rotated into slurry.

 

Step 5 : Stuccoing
            Using a fluidized bed, multiple layers of refractory grain stucco are added for reinforcement.
            The molds are dried under controlled condition.

 

Step 6 : Dewaxing & Firing
            Autoclaving extracts the pattern wax.
            Recovered materials are processed for reuse.
            The mold is prefired & cured to exact casting temperature.

 

Step 7 : Melting & Casting
            Preheated mold is placed in a special vacuum casting chamber.
            Molten metal is cast into the mold using vacuum assist.

 

Step 8 : Knock-Out
            Using the Mechanical vibration process to removal the refractory.
            These techniques depend on the state of clusters.

 

Step 9 : Cutting
            After cooling, the parts are cut from the cluster with cut-off wheel.
            Using the mechanical cut M/C, & plasma cut process.

 

Step 10 : Grinding
              The castings are grounded smooth for grinding the gate.
              And then, Sand blasting the castings to clean the surface.

 

Step 11 : Straightening
              Correcting the bended castings with static Press M/C.
              Using the fixture by each part.
              Castings are sent to inspection after the gauge check.

 

Step 12 : Inspection
  • Measure Inspection (3-Coodinate Measuring Machine)
    Profile Projector,
    Micrometer,
    Vernier Calipers

 

  • Chemical experiment : Spectrometer
  • Nondestructive Inspection
    X-RAY Inspection Tester
    Magnetic Particle Tester
    Hardness Tester(Rockwell, Brinell)
ETC. : Universal Measuring Machine
