The stainless steel investment casting process can be divided into four stages: wax patterns manufacturing, shell making, smelting pouring and post-processing. We collect the inspection, equipment maintenance and other costs for these four stages into auxiliary production costs. In the four production processes, the costs incurred in the three stages (wax patterns manufacturing, shell making, smelting and pouring) are closely related to the production rate of the process. For example, if the manufacturing cost of wax patterns is calculated according…

When designing a metal component with investment casting process, many people would like to select stainless steel as the casting material for its exceptional resistance to corrosion. 304 and 316 are the two of the most widely used stainless steel casting grades in the world. Selecting the most optimal grade for stainless steel investment casting can mean longer lasting performance, especially in challenging corrosive environments. For 304 and 316 stainless steels, the presence of molybdenum is mainly what makes them…

What is Rod Anchor? Tension Rod System is an aesthetically pleasing method of providing bracing or structural support for a wide variety of architectural, structural and civil applications. Rod anchors, are used to connect tension rods to gusset plates. The rod anchors are made of stainless steel by investment casting method. In more common parlance, such components are sometimes referred to as fork heads, fork-end connectors, heads, forks, eyes etc. The rod anchors represent the successful reconciliation of stringent requirements…

A butterfly valve is a shut-off valve with a relatively simple construction. In closed position, the disc blocks the valve bore while in open position, the disc is turned to allow flow. A quarter turn takes the valve from fully open to fully closed position, or opposite, and thus the butterfly valve allows for quick opening and closure. Compared to other types of valves, butterfly valves have the advantages of simple construction, not taking up too much space, the light…

Stainless steel is a steel alloy, composed mainly of iron and chromium. Stainless steel strong, durable and (depending on its exact composition) resistant to heat, corrosion, oxidation and certain environment conditions. For the good castability of stainless steel, most stainless steel products with complex shapes are produced by stainless steel casting. Stainless steel casting process is the lost wax silica sol casting process starts from the formation of ceramics around a wax pattern to form a shell for casting stainless…

Beer valves are used and are considered the on-off switch of a brewery to keep your beer flowing, or not flowing, which are important to every brewery operation. Whether your have a brew house or a home-made setup, beer valve can accuratly control the flow between tanks and brewing steps, which can ensure a high quality beer. Throughout the brewing cycle, numerous different liquids and gases are brought in and out of the tanks. Depending on the step and the…

About Stainless Steel Investment Casting Investment casting is a modern precision casting method compared with traditional casting technology. With investment casting, we can obtain relatively complex shape with higher accuracy, so most stainless steel components are made from investment casting. Stainless steel investment casting process: making a pattern or model with wax, coating it with a layer of clay and other refractory materials, heating the wax to melt and flow out, so as to get the empty shell formed by…

A stirrup is a light frame that holds the foot when riding a horse. Stirrups are usually paired and are used to aid in mounting and as a support while using a riding horse. They greatly increase the rider’s ability to stay in the saddle and control the mount, increasing the horse’ usefulness to humans in areas such as communication, transportation and warfare. Early stirrups were mainly made by iron, while modern stirrups (such as safety stirrups, ide-saddle stirrups, ect)…

The foundation of any stainless steel casting company is its stainless steel foundry, which is where the stainless steel casting process takes place. This refers to the process of “investing” a pattern with refractory materials, molding from among many different stainless steel casting grades to create precision castings. For each stainless steel casting made by a stainless steel casting company, there is a general process that is followed to ensure quality, cost-effectiveness, and consistency. This process should be watched over…
