Investment Castings

Investment casting is a process that uses wax to make a pattern of a desired shape. The wax impression is coated with various ceramic materials and then replaced with the metal/alloy of choice to create an exact duplicate of the initial wax pattern.

The distinct advantages of this casting process over other types include flexibility of design, close tolerances, thin sections, and high static and dynamic mechanical properties. The use of this process tends to produce a good surface finish, and lower total component cost.

  Weartech manufactures investment castings of cobalt and nickel based alloys to exact specifications supplier by the customer.

Note: for drilling use carbide tools


GRINDING
Grinding is recommended for alloys with hardnesses higher than RC 55. Alundum type of wheels are preferable. Grinding speeds of 2800-4000 ft/min are used depending on the alloy and parts. The use of coolants minimize surface cracks.
