Investment Casting: Ferrous Investment Castings are castings that utilize Stainless Steel, including 300/400 Series Alloys and any Precipitation Hardened Steel Alloys. Non-Ferrous Investment Castings utilizes copper based alloys, zinc based alloys, aluminum and bronze. Investment Casting. Often called lost wax Process casting, is regarded as a precision casting process to fabricate near-net shaped metal parts poured from almost any alloy including: stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze and copper etc. The investment casting process consistently provides high integrity (sound) and dimensionally accurate castings. Investment casting uses a mold that has been produced by surrounding an expendable pattern with a refractory slurry that sets at room temperature. The pattern (usually of wax ) is then melted or burned out, leaving the mold cavity. Investment casting is also known as the “lost wax process” and as “precision casting”. Please contact Dilip Industries to learn more about how we can work together to help to reduce your company’s costs using either the investment casting (lost wax process) or other casting processes.

Ferrous & Non-Ferrous Sand Casting: Sand casting is used to make large parts (typically Iron, but also Bronze, Brass, Aluminum). Molten metal is poured into a mold cavity formed out of sand (natural or synthetic). The processes of sand casting are discussed in this section, include patterns, sprues and runners, design considerations, and casting allowance. The Sand Casting (Green Sand) molding process utilizes a cope (top half) and drag (bottom half) flask set-up. The mold consists of sand, (usually silica), clay and water. When the water is added it develops the bonding characteristics of the clay, which binds the sand grains together. When applying pressure to the mold material it can be compacted around a pattern, which is either made of metal or wood, to produce a mold having sufficient rigidity to enable metal to be poured into it to produce a casting. The process also uses coring to create cavities inside the casting. After the casting is poured and has cooled the core is removed. The material costs for the process are low and the sand casting process is exceptionally flexible. A number of metals can be used for castings in sizes from ounces to many thousand pounds. The mold material is reclaimable, with between 90 and 95% of the sand being recycled, although new sand and additions are required to make up for the discarded loss. These features, combined with the relative ease of mold production, have ensured that the green sand molding process has remained as the principal method by which castings are produced
