If you have 8 minutes spare, it is worth watching this clip of the investment casting process
 Today most customers supply CAD files |  Casting Simulation helps to identify problems and to increase yield and to reduce the required time to perform any design alterations. |
|---|---|
 A close tolerance wax pattern is manufactured by injecting molten wax under pressure into a tool using filled wax material |  Soluble Pattern is used in a wax pattern where undercuts are difficult to produce |
 This consists of building wax assemblies using runner bars, wax patterns, ancillary feeders, ceramic tie bars etc. |  The wax assemblies are coated with refractory slurry and then covered with a refractory stucco to form several ceramic coats. |
 After the final drying cycle the wax material is removed from the ceramic shell mould by using high pressure dry steam. |  Before the ceramic shell moulds are ready for casting they are fired at 1050 C. |
 The molten metal is poured into a hot ceramic mould using a ladle. |  A Roll-over furnace is generally used for pouring smaller hot ceramic moulds up to 50 kg. |
 When the metal has solidified and cooled to room temperature the ceramic mould material is removed by using a pneumatic knock-out hammer. |  Some castings after post casting operations. |
 The finished cast components are subjected to fluorescent dye penetrant (FDP) detection of surface defects. |  |
