Investment casting is commonly used in the automotive industry to produce small parts from metals that are too expensive to use through traditional casting methods. For example, investment castings are widely used for making engine valves and fuel injectors from materials like steel and aluminum alloys. The automotive industry produces high-value parts such as powertrain components, control arms, and powertrain components.
The energy sector is the most significant industrial user of investment casting, or lost wax casting. The process starts with a 3D model attached to a metal pattern and wax cast into a mold. The wax is melted out of the mold, where the molten metal can be poured in and cooled. After the metal has cooled and solidified, the mold is destroyed to reveal the part. The resulting metal parts are used in wind turbines, heat exchangers, and other applications where strength and high surface quality are necessary.
The ability to cast delicate, complex parts gives investment casting a pivotal role in the medical industry’s production of prosthetics, implants, and surgical devices.
In aerospace applications, this method is used for relatively small precision parts like jet engine nozzles rather than significant components like fuselage. It’s ideal for producing parts made from many different alloys or materials because it allows multiple castings to be produced in one mold. This is especially useful for jet engine parts because each component can be made from a different material with a particular property, like heat or corrosion resistance.
The process of investment casting is well-suited to the production of robust and corrosion-resistant sheet metal used in marine vessels and submarines. Because it can be applied to many metal alloys, this casting process has become a common practice in the industry.
