Investment Casting | How It Continues to Advance
Investment casting or lost wax casting is known as the oldest way to create precision parts with metal. To create a desired shape of metal, create the desired pattern out of wax that replicates the shape. The hardened wax design is then dipped in a ceramic material and then removed; later to be melted away or "lost" as heat melts away the wax. After the ceramic material is hardened, molten steel is poured into the opening. The ceramic mold is then removed or broken away from the solid steel which is then ready to use.
The history of this process dates back thousands of years. Originally bees wax was formed into the desired shape and then covered in clay. Metal was melted using bellows and coal fire. The process was used to form shapes such as idols, jewelry, and art. As time progressed, advancements were made in the precision of the materials and processes to the point where extremely predictable results could be achieved. Dentists were some of the first users of investment casting on a more industrial level, utilizing the process to create fillings to be used inside the mouths of patients.
Advancement in the wax, pattern design, refractories, and melting equipment resulted in processes that can hold tremendously tight dimensional properties. For example, modern investment castings may hold dimensions that are measured by a few thousandths of an inch per inch. With such advancements, components that are made can often times be used directly from the manufacturer without subsequent machining. In worst cases, parts may be near net shape, which minimizes the amount of handling and processing to be completed on the casting. Users of these casting processes may deploy the process to create parts that can be poured in thousands of different materials including steel, non-ferrous materials, aluminum, iron, duplex alloys, and more.
Investment casting applications have grown tremendously during modern times. The process is used today to create material handling, pumps and valves, transportation, components in aerospace, food processing and more. Sculptures and original art also use investment casting to create a metal version of the artistic creation. Investment casting may also be used to create medical implements and components used inside the human body.
Investment casting is one of the oldest forms of creating precision parts in metal. It is also known as the lost wax method. The process involves creating a wax pattern which is essentially a replica of the desired part in steel. The pattern is encased in a ceramic material and then removed or "lost" through the introduction of heat. The mold will then have molten steel poured into the opening. Once the mold is broken away from the solid steel, the casting is available for use.
