  • Investment casting enables the production of complex geometries with high precision and attention to detail.
  • The surface finish of investment castings is very smooth with Rz 16 to 32 µm, which requires mechanical finishing if necessary.
  • A variety of metals and alloys can be cast in the investment casting process, which allows for a flexible choice of materials.
  • The precision of investment casting means that tolerances can be kept tight, resulting in high dimensional accuracy.
  • Investment casting is suitable for the production of small batches through to large series, which makes the process versatile for different production volumes.

Process

The investment casting process stands for the highest precision in manufacturing technology.

This innovative method allows the realisation of complicated structures with impressive surface quality. It combines aesthetic aspects with technical sophistication and transforms sophisticated design concepts into tangible reality.

Mechanical machining of investment castings

For castings where standard tolerances are not sufficient, precise customisation is carried out using mechanical machining processes.

Advanced CNC turning and milling centres equipped with 3- to 5-axis technology are used in this process.

These allow the required dimensional accuracy to be set precisely in specific areas in order to fulfil the requirements. Each machining operation is customised to the individual specifications of the cast parts in order to achieve maximum precision.

Quality control in the investment casting process

The final inspection includes a careful check of the cast and machined surfaces. Dimensions that are of particular importance are checked in accordance with the guidelines. The inspection of gauges is carried out by prior arrangement.

Depending on the customer's specific requirements, additional inspections may be carried out: Separate certification of melt analysis, evaluation of mechanical properties, leakage tests and examinations of the internal and external structure using magnetic particle or penetrant methods are possible.
