One of the oldest production techniques in existence is investment casting. This fusion casting method, which has been used for thousands of years, involves pouring molten metal into disposable ceramic molds. The copperware cast using this process doesn’t have any pattern markings or signs of gaskets since wax molds or models are used to create the molds. It works well for casting hollow items.
Due to the fact that the original wax mold will melt away from the mold after the ceramic has dried, investment casting is sometimes referred to as lost wax investment casting. After that, fill the remaining cavity with the employed base metal to complete the interior form.
Aerospace: The production of products like satellites, airplane door frames, hydraulic fluid system components, actuation systems, bearing covers, cargo systems, and landing and brake components depends significantly on precision casting.
Power generation: Precision casting is used to make combustion hardware, turbulence tubes, fuel nozzles, seals, air boxes, and turbine blades.
Military: The military use precision casting for a range of purposes, including the production of robots, weapons, missile parts, electronic enclosures, armored vehicles, naval parts, sonar and radar receivers, and heavy equipment parts.
Automobiles: To produce distinctive parts and aftermarket parts, tools, and accessories, automobile manufacturers design specialized investment casting techniques.
Make important to safety application scenarios: Many of our products are utilized in crucial automotive applications due to the high degree of precision in precision casting, therefore we must carefully monitor the ductility, tensile strength, and accuracy of the components in these applications.
Flexible service delivery: We have a skilled engineering staff that can develop unique components for your requirements and offer 3D printing. Depending on your needs, we may provide ODM/OEM services, production design, and mold design. Make sure everything is fine for you before supplying the sample for mass production.

Pattern-making software is used by EASTEEL to create three-dimensional solid models. The virtual model is then turned into a wax or other molten material model via stereolithography.
Manufacture of molds: To create a skin on the wax mold, workers repeatedly submerge it in the refractory slurry. Plaster of Paris is typically used as the slurry’s binder and refractory ingredient for low-temperature melts. Silicon dioxide is used as an adhesive and sillimanite is used as a refractory material in high-temperature melt. Workers will also apply ethyl silicate and sillimanite coatings in accordance with the specified fineness of the surface treatment agent. The expert may place the mold in a big container when the casting is heavy and add extra slurry for reinforcement.
Mold heating: To melt the wax, workers heat the mold in the oven.
Mold preheating: To get rid of any remaining wax, firm the adhesive, and make sure the mold is entirely filled with molten metal, workers heat the mold to roughly 1000°C.
Pouring metal: Pouring techniques can make use of gravity, pressure, or vacuum.
Inspection: Professionals make sure there are no flaws or blemishes and that the cast pieces match the original design exactly.
