Once upon a time when the world was young, there was a magical craft called the lost wax steel casting. This art form has now been around for centuries producing unique and wonderful steel objects. Today I want to talk to you about an interesting process known as Lost wax steel casting, and how we create detailed designs and bring them to their final form as well as the magic that is unleashed when I create these.
The lost wax process of steel Die Casting is a timeless skill that dates back thousands of years to the bronze age. It is a process of generating steel structures by forming a wax model with the shape of the structure to be fabricated. This wax model is then buried in a mold formed of a material known as investment, consisting of sand and clay. The mold is placed in a furnace and the wax melted out, creating a hollow cavity in the shape of the design.
The lost wax steel casting process includes the filling of the cavity that the melted wax has left behind with molten steel. The steel by Runpeng Precision Hardware is then cooled off to harden, the result is a solid metal reproduction of the original wax pattern. The investment mold is removed to expose the metallic object inside. The steel product is then cleaned and polished to enhance its natural luster and beauty.
One of the most marvelous aspects of lost wax steel casting is the ability to make whatever intricate, detailed design one can imagine- with no limitations possible in any other type of metal fabrication. The final steel part can inherit every decorative and functional characteristic, down to the fineness of the details in such wax models, such as less than 1mm-thick intricacies patterns and very intricate forms.
