Lost Wax Investment Casting is a beautiful process for creating metal parts with high accuracy and near-uniform finishes. There are secrets to the way it works, but fundamentally casting is used to create industrial machinery and even craft precious jewelry. Let's get stuck into Investment Casting and find why lost wax casting is such a big deal.
Lost Wax Investment Casting is a process that has been around for thousands of years. It includes forming a wax replica of the part that is to be cast and then coating the wax model with a ceramic shell. When the shell lining is dry, wax is melted out, providing a hollow shell into which molten metal can be poured. This investment casting wax technique involves the metal casting of very fine details and complex designs.
Attention to detail during wax pattern modeling is the secret of high precision parts with investment casting. It is carved from wax by specialist craftspeople to capture every detail. The ceramic shell is equally important as it must be strong enough to survive the heat of the molten metal without fracturing. Controlling the investment mould casting process allows for parts to be produced to their overall finished dimensions and with high-quality surface finishes.
Investment casting in the lost wax process has a very long history and may even be the oldest known metal casting process. Jewelry, statues, and ritual objects with delicate features were among the objects it was used to make. Since then, the method has evolved and has found its use in today's production technology. Today’s investment casting is used across multiple industries, to produce applications from aerospace and such and medical implants.
Lost wax investment casting is a process that provides a unique representation of the final product by manufacturing a wax version which is an intermediate process. This is the ideal process to produce parts with intricate and complex geometries, such as those created in the investment casting process. A wax model allows even the most delicate designs to be reproduced in metal. The result is a tough and accurate part that you want when drilling and reaming into the most inaccessible and toughest of places.
In the metal casting industry, the lost wax process is one of the most popular (along with sand casting).
