Investment casting is a commonly used casting process, also known as lost wax casting or investment casting. It produces metal parts of complex shapes by using dissolvable molds. Here are some common
investment casting parts:
1. Turbine blades: Investment casting is widely used in the aerospace and energy industries to manufacture turbine blades. Due to the complex geometry and high temperature requirements of turbine blades, investment casting offers the advantages of high precision and material properties.
2. Aircraft engine parts: Investment casting is used to manufacture various parts in aircraft engines, such as turbine disks, turbine casings, nozzles, turbine shafts, etc. These parts often require reliability and performance in high temperature and high pressure environments.
3. Aerospace components: Investment casting is used to manufacture a variety of components in the aerospace field, including complex connectors, seat components, sensor housings, and more. These parts usually require high strength, light weight and high precision.
4. Medical device components: Investment casting is also used in the manufacture of medical devices, such as artificial joints, implant devices, surgical tools, etc. Complex shapes and high-precision medical device components can be manufactured by investment casting.
5. Precision mechanical parts: Investment casting can be used to produce various precision mechanical parts, such as gears, bearings, shock absorbers, etc. These parts usually require high precision and good surface quality.
6. Art and jewelry: Investment casting is also used in art and jewelry making. Metal artwork and jewelry of complex textures and shapes can be created through investment casting.
These are just some examples of
investment casting applications. In fact, investment casting technology is applicable to many industries and fields, and can produce metal parts of various complex shapes.
