What is the development history of Investment Casting?
Investment casting, is an ancient metalworking technique that dates back thousands of years. It has a rich history that spans various cultures and civilizations.
The earliest evidence of investment casting dates back to approximately 3500 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq and Iran). Archaeologists have discovered artifacts made using this technique, including jewelry and figurines.
Today, investment casting remains a popular and versatile method for creating metal objects with intricate details and complex shapes. It is used in various industries, including jewelry making, art, aerospace, dentistry, and more.
What are the advantages of Investment Casting?
1. High dimensional accuracy:
Generally, it can reach CT4-6 (CT10-13 for sand casting and CT5-7 for die casting);
2. Low Material Waste:
Investment casting can significantly reduce the processing volume of the formed surface and mating surface of the product, saving processing time and cutting tool material consumption;
3. Complex Geometries:
It can maximize the similarity between burrs and parts, bringing great convenience to the structural design of parts. Investment casting of castings with complex shapes can produce castings with very complex shapes, as well as castings with a wall thickness of 0.5mm and a weight as small as 1g. It can also cast composite and integral castings;
4. Not limited by alloy materials:
The investment casting method can cast carbon steel, alloy steel, ductile iron, copper alloy, and aluminum alloy castings, as well as castings made of high-temperature alloys, magnesium alloys, titanium alloys, and precious metals. For alloy materials that are difficult to forge, weld, and cut, it is particularly suitable for casting using precision casting methods,
5. High production flexibility and strong adaptability:
Investment casting is suitable for both large-scale production or small batch production.

What are the strengths of FUCHUN CASTING?
We are a factory specializing in casting and machining for more than 30 years. We also are able to provide the parts produced by forging, stamping, laser cut,etc and own a powerful technical team. The material we can do include steels and other alloys based on iron, aluminum, copper, etc.
A range of services related to casting processes that can be provided is as follows:
1. Casting Services:
Metal Casting: We are primarily known for their ability to cast a wide variety of metals, including iron, steel, aluminum, brass,and more, into different shapes and sizes.
2. Pattern Making:
Pattern Design and Production: We often assist customers in designing and creating the patterns or molds needed for casting.
3. Mold Making:
Mold Preparation: We prepare molds for casting. This can include creating sand molds, investment molds (used in precision casting), and other types of molds based on the specific requirements of the project.
4. Melting and Pouring:
Metal Melting: We have the equipment to melt various metals at high temperatures, turning them into a molten state suitable for casting.
Metal Pouring: Once the metal is molten, it is poured into the prepared molds to create the desired shapes.
5. Heat Treatment:
Heat Treating: We can provide heat treatment services to improve the mechanical properties of castings. This may involve processes like annealing, quenching, tempering, and stress relieving.
6. Finishing and Machining:
Casting Cleanup: After casting, we often perform finishing operations to remove excess material, smooth surfaces, and prepare the castings for further processing.
Machining:We also offer machining services to achieve precise dimensions and surface finishes on the cast parts. This is especially common for critical components.
7. Quality Control:
Quality Assurance: We typically have quality control measures in place to ensure that castings meet specified standards and tolerances. This may involve inspections, testing, and documentation.
8. Customization and Prototyping:
Custom Castings: We can produce custom castings based on unique designs and specifications.
Prototyping: We often collaborate with product designers and engineers to create prototypes for new products or components.
9. Consultation and Design Assistance:
Technical Expertise: Our experts can provide guidance on the feasibility of casting certain designs and help optimize designs for the casting process
10. Batch and Mass Production:
Small to Large Runs: We can produce individual pieces, small batches, or large quantities of castings, depending on customer needs.
We have received good feedback from customers from many countries, such as, United States, Canada, Britain, Mexico, Australia, South Africa, Singapore, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Poland, Italy, Germany, Spain, Nepal, Netherlands, France, Dubai, Finland, Russia, Thailand and the Philippines etc.
