Carburizing is a heat treatment process in which iron or steel absorbs carbon while the metal is heated

In the end, the individual castings are cut away from casting tree

Ceramic cores are used for forming cavities that are too small or complex to be machined within investing casting procedures

   After layers of ceramic applied to the assembly, ceramic trees are hanged to form a hard shell

Because no heat is involved, sand molding process is called a cold–setting process

Stainless steel are corrosion resistant

Curing is a chemical process that produces the hardening of a polymer material

A draft angle is a slant that is applied to each side of an part to helps with releasing the part from the mold

Drop forging is a forging process where a hammer is raised and then “dropped” onto the workpiece

Duplex stainless steels contain a mixture of austenite and ferrite in their structure

In materials science, fatigue is the weakening of a material caused by cyclic loading

Most forging operations use metal-forming dies

The hardenability of a metal alloy is the depth to which a material is hardened after putting it through a heat treatment process

A hermetic seal is any type of sealing that makes a given object airtight

Invest Cast Inc can supply both low or high volume cast metal production services

For long run casting project, the master die is made with steel

Low-alloy steels constitute a category of ferrous materials that exhibit mechanical properties superior to plain carbon steels

Invest Cast Inc can supply low volume cast metal production services

Martensite is a very hard form of steel crystalline structure

Investment casting can achieve net shape or near net shape products

Wax is injected into the tool to create a pattern

Plating is a surface covering in which a metal is deposited on a conductive surface

Casting porosity can be caused by gas formation or solidification shrinkage while the metal is a liquid

Quenching is the rapid cooling of a workpiece in water, oil or air to obtain certain material properties

 The wax tree is dipped into a refractory slurry to form a ceramic shell

Rejection rate of investment casting is also much smaller than sand casting

A release agent is applied to the die to prevent other materials from bonding to surfaces

Main function of shot blasting is also used for removing rust that may interfere with the appearance or definition of investment castings

Secondary machine process are those required to bring the forging to the required shape

 Investment casting can produce products with exceptional surface qualities, which can reduce the need for secondary operations

After a release agent is applied to the die, a sleeve is filled with molten metal that is then pushed into the die cavities with a piston

The wax assembly is dipped by a large robot into a high grade ceramic slurry

The investment casting process can be utilized to produce components in smaller runs

Tolerances of investment castings are more precise than other casting processes which provides superior surface finish

 Surface treatment services on investment castings such as painting, powder coating, zinc plating, ect

Surfactants may act as detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and dispersants

Thermal expansion alloys are made up of an iron-nickel base and are known for their low coefficient of thermal expansion

  The size of a part puts a limit on how thin the wall thickness can be, investment casting is an excellent choice for thin-walled applications

The more the tolerances are tighter the less machining is needed

A tool is built to customer provided specifications, cold wax is then injected into the tool

Manufacturing cost of a new investment cast component will include tooling cost and unit cost

A tap is a valve controlling the release of a liquid or gas

Welded fabrications or weldments can be converted into casting sometimes

Wetting agents are chemical substance that increases the spreading and penetrating properties of a liquid by lowering its surface tension

Investment casting is used if you need zero draft angles on the part, something die casting cannot offer
