Lost Wax Investment Casting For Better Design, Performance & Cost Advantages

In olden times lost wax casting was the procedure in which the wax design gets liquefied amid the molding procedure; subsequently the name lost wax is given to this procedure. Distinctive foundries utilize diverse casting method, and the unwavering quality of this procedure keeps on pulling in foundry men and specialists alike. Generally, in lost wax casting, wax designs were made by hand for each and every bit of mold. But, today, one example can be used to influence different examples despite the fact that the pattern is lost or softened during the procedure. But now you have machines to perform the casting job. It is being utilized from time immemorial for casting the required materials and small parts. It is used to fabricate mold embellishments. Some vehicle makers utilize a lost-froth procedure to make motor squares etc. 

Converting to investment casting lessens or takes out machining, as parts can be cast with close net shape, multifaceted geometries. Various parts that required huge machining to make a solitary gathering can be thrown into more grounded, more effective investment castings. 

Lost wax casting manufacturers help many companies to find solutions to save time, money, and headaches. Here some of the examples as to how lost wax casting help solve various design, performance, and cost problems that has been faced by the customers. 

The design advantage

• Application: Machinery
• Design Problem: High manufacturing costs, difficult in Weldment and poor quality.  
• Solution: Investment cast as one piece, improved quality and reduced cost of 20%

Its performance advantage

• Application: Bottling
• Performance problem: Short product life, high replacement costs and high wear 
• Solution: Changed to a cobalt based alloy, improved product life tenfold and reduced the total costs of 30%

Cost advantage

• Application: Material handling
• Cost problem: Difficult to machine, unusual alloy and complex shape 
• Solution: Investment cast component and savings up to 50%

Other advantages includes

• The lost-wax casting process can be used with any material that can burn or melt, or evaporate to leave a mold cavity 
• Loyally duplicated every detail of the original wax
• Permits molding of castings that would be outlandish in different methods
