Factory Investment Casting Service for Metal Casting Components Custom Cast Aluminum Part

Where complex geometry, superior surface finish, and exceptional dimensional accuracy are paramount, our Factory Investment Casting Service provides an unparalleled manufacturing solution. Also known as the lost-wax process, this technique is ideal for producing intricate Custom Cast Aluminum Parts and other metal components that would be prohibitively expensive or impossible to machine from solid billet. We specialize in transforming your most demanding designs into high-integrity, net-shape metal castings, ready for immediate application.

Premium Materials for Demanding Specifications
Our investment casting foundry works with a wide range of alloys to meet diverse engineering requirements, with a core expertise in aluminum. We primarily utilize high-strength, heat-treatable grades like A356.0 and A357.0, chosen for their excellent combination of:

• High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Essential for aerospace, automotive, and defense applications where reducing mass is critical without sacrificing structural integrity.

• Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Ensuring long-term durability in harsh environments.

• Superior Castability: Allowing for the reproduction of thin walls, sharp corners, and complex internal features with high fidelity.
  We also offer services for stainless steels, carbon steels, and copper-based alloys to provide a comprehensive metal casting solution.

The Precision Investment Casting Process
Our multi-step process is defined by its meticulous attention to detail:

1. Pattern Creation: A precise wax or thermoplastic pattern is injected into a metal die, replicating the final part.

2. Shell Building: The patterns are assembled into a cluster and repeatedly dipped into a ceramic slurry and stucco, building a thick, refractory mold shell.

3. Dewaxing & Firing: The shell is heated, melting out the wax and leaving a hollow, negative cavity. The ceramic mold is then fired at high temperature to achieve maximum strength.

4. Pouring & Solidification: Molten aluminum is poured into the preheated ceramic mold, filling the intricate cavity.

5. Shell Removal & Finishing: Once cooled, the ceramic shell is broken away, revealing the raw casting, which is then cut from the tree and finished.

This method delivers parts with exceptional surface finishes (typically 125 Ra microinches or better), tight tolerances (within ±0.005 inches per inch), and minimal need for secondary machining.

Proven Applications Across Industries
Our custom investment cast components are vital in sectors where performance is critical:

• Aerospace: Turbine blades, structural brackets, and engine components.

• Automotive: turbocharger housings, suspension components, and sensor housings.

• Medical & Dental: Surgical instrument bodies, orthopedic implants, and device housings.

• Food Processing & Industrial Machinery: Corrosion-resistant valves, impellers, and complex gears.
