Investment Casting FAQ
What geometries are best suited to investment casting?
Investment casting suits intricate housings, impellers, valve components and parts with fine features or complex contours. Send the 3D model and drawing so wall transitions, cores and machining allowances can be reviewed.
What alloys can you cast?
Candidate materials include stainless steel, alloy steel, aluminum, nickel and cobalt alloys, and copper-based alloys. The exact grade and inspection requirements are confirmed during project review.
Can you support prototypes and low-volume orders?
Prototype, low-volume and batch routes can be reviewed against the part geometry and tooling requirements. Share the alloy, quantity and inspection scope to confirm a suitable production plan.
How much machining stock should be included?
Machining allowance depends on the alloy, geometry, casting variation and critical finished features. Send the as-cast and finished requirements so stock and datums can be agreed before tooling release.
Can you provide CMM and NDT reports?
CMM and NDT reporting can be included when specified and agreed in the inspection plan. Provide the drawing, acceptance criteria and required documentation with your RFQ.
How quickly can you quote an investment casting part?
Quote timing depends on the completeness of the model, drawing, alloy, quantity and inspection requirements. We review these inputs and confirm the quotation schedule rather than promise a fixed turnaround.
Have a Complex Casting to Develop?
Send the model, drawing, alloy and quantity. We will review the casting route, core strategy, machining stock and inspection plan before quoting.
