Investment Casting: Reliable Investment Casting from Huaxiao
Investment Casting (lost-wax) builds a ceramic shell around a wax pattern to cast intricate, near-net-shape parts with superb finish and tight tolerances—no parting line.
How Investment Casting Works
A wax pattern is coated in ceramic, the wax is melted out, and molten metal fills the hollow shell; after cooling the shell is removed and the part finished.
Investment vs. Sand Casting
Investment gives finer detail, better finish, and tighter tolerance; sand casting is cheaper for very large or simple parts.
