We produce cast steel with an extensive range of physical properties. Offering both automatic and manual molding operations up to 2000 kg and max size 2000 x 1500 x 15000 with carbon steel castings and different alloys:
A multi-step process that produces near-net shape precision casting parts. The process begins with the creation of patterns. These are then used to create moulds that are filled with molten metal to create the part. Secondary processing, such as machining, welding or painting can also be done. The process uses different machines such as furnace, injection, blasting, tumbling, cutting, grinding, etc. The process involves mainly the following steps
A variation of the investment casting process, the pattern in lost foam casting is made of expanded polystyrene, dipped (invested) in a ceramic shell. Design flexibility is a key feature of this process, which lends itself to large castings, complex shapes and low part numbers.
Pre-forms of the parts to be cast are molded in expanded polystyrene (or other expandable polymers) using aluminium tooling. Gluing EPS moldings together can form complex shapes. The pre-forms are assembled into a cluster around a sprue then coated with a refractory paint. The cluster is invested in dry sand in a simple molding box and the sand compacted by vibration. Metal is poured, vaporising the EPS pre-form and replacing it to form the casting.
Our lost foam casting services are present in a wide variety of products, including high quality, top performance industrial parts. We typically serve the following industries:
