Investment Casting Process
Investment casting process involves the production of metal parts by pouring molten metal into a ceramic mold. The mold is created by dipping a wax pattern into a ceramic slurry and then heating it to remove the wax, leaving behind a hollow ceramic shell. The molten metal is then poured into the ceramic mold, allowed to cool and solidify, and then the ceramic shell is broken away to reveal the final metal part. This process allows for intricate and complex shapes to be produced with high precision and minimal machining required.
