Investment Casting
Custom metal components begin with a clear specification. Talk to Hengsheng about lost-wax casting for your part geometry, material and production requirements.
Detail where it matters
Investment casting creates a near-net-shape component from an expendable wax pattern and ceramic shell. It can suit complex shapes and features that would otherwise require extensive machining. The right route depends on your drawing, alloy and order volume.
Specify the complete component
Share the finished-part drawing as well as any casting drawing. Identify functional surfaces, machining allowances, critical dimensions and any pressure, load or corrosion requirements. We will review the requested manufacturing route with you before quotation.
From casting to finished part
Define heat treatment, machining, surface finish and inspection requirements at the inquiry stage. These affect both the casting design and the quotation, and should be agreed before tooling begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is investment casting the same as lost-wax casting?+
Lost-wax casting is a common name for investment casting. A wax pattern is removed from a ceramic shell before molten metal is poured into the cavity.
Can you quote without a drawing?+
A drawing gives the clearest basis for review. If you only have a sample or concept, email William with photos and the intended application to discuss the next step.
What tolerance and lead time can you offer?+
Tolerance, tooling time and delivery depend on geometry, material, machining and quantity. Request a project-specific review rather than relying on a general figure.
