Alloy Steel Lost Wax Castings from China foundry
Investment (lost wax) casting is a method of precision casting complex near-net-shape details using replication of wax patterns. Investment casting or lost wax is a metal forming process that typically uses a wax pattern surrounded by a ceramic shell to make a ceramic mold. When the shell dries, the wax is melted away, leaving only the mold. Then the casting component is formed by pouring molten metal into the ceramic mold.
The process is suitable for repeatable production of net shape components from a variety of different metals and high performance alloys. Although generally used for small castings, this process has been used to produce complete aircraft door frames, with steel castings of up to 500 kgs and aluminium castings of up to 50 kgs. Compared to other casting processes such as die casting or sand casting, it can be an expensive process. However, the components that can be produced using investment casting can incorporate intricate contours, and in most cases the components are cast near net shape, so require little or no rework once cast.
Silica sol casting process is the main steel investment casting process of RMC investment casting foundry. We have been developing new technology of adhesive material to achieve much more economical and effective adhesive material to build the slurry shell. It is a overwhelming trend that Silica sol casting process replaces the rough inferior water glass process, especially for stainless steel casting and alloy steel casting. Besides the innovated molding material, the silica sol casting process has also being innovated to much steadier and less heat expanding.
Heat-resistant steel refers to steel with high temperature oxidation resistance and high temperature strength. High temperature oxidation resistance is an important condition to ensure that the workpiece works for a long time at high temperature. In an oxidizing environment such as high-temperature air, oxygen reacts chemically with the steel surface to form a variety of iron oxide layers. The oxide layer is very loose, loses the original characteristics of steel, and is easy to fall off. In order to improve the high-temperature oxidation resistance of steel, alloying elements are added to the steel to change the oxide structure. Commonly used alloying elements are chromium, nickel, chromium, silicon, aluminum and so on. The high temperature oxidation resistance of steel is only related to the chemical composition.
