Brief introduction of investment casting application scope

General application of investment casting:
Investment casting is a casting process originating in ancient times, mainly suitable for parts/products requiring high precision, high surface quality and complex shape production. Compared with the traditional casting process, investment casting can produce more delicate and precise products. Here are some of the types of workpieces that are generally suitable for investment casting:

1. Aero engine blade, blade disc, combustion chamber and other components;
2. Automotive engine cylinder block, cylinder head, turbine blade and other components;
3. Turbine blades, guide blades, rotors, stators, centrifugal pump impellers, etc., for general machinery industry;
4. Complex shells, three-dimensional catheters, joints for medical equipment and precision instruments.

Specific examples of investment casting:
1. Aero engine blades
Investment casting technology has been applied earlier in the aviation field, and its blade types mainly include turbine blade, high-pressure driven turbine blade, combustion chamber diversion wall, turbine blade and wheel. The production of these parts requires high precision and surface quality requirements, and investment casting can meet these needs.

2. Car engine cylinder head
With the development of automobile industry, investment casting technology is gradually applied to the production of automobile engine cylinder head, turbocharger and other parts. The complex structure and high surface requirements of these parts can be achieved through investment casting, and production efficiency is also improved.

3. Precision instrument products
Investment casting is also widely used in the production of medical equipment and precision instruments. It usually has a complex structure and precision components that require a high degree of precision, and investment casting can provide high-precision production capabilities.

In short, investment casting, as a high-precision casting process, provides convenience for the manufacture of complex shaped parts. In the future, investment casting technology will continue to be widely used.
