Manufacturing Process Overview

Investment Casting

Lost-wax style process for detailed metal parts with better surfaces than many sand castings.

Advantages

Limitations

How it works

Typical fit: Complex metal parts needing finer detail than sand casting

Compatible Materials

Common austenitic stainless for corrosion-resistant fabricated and machined parts.

Molybdenum-bearing stainless often selected for tougher corrosion environments than 304.

High-performance titanium alloy for strength-to-weight and corrosion-demanding applications.

Machinable copper alloy family for fittings, hardware, and decorative functional parts.
