Aerospace Investment Casting from jiachuan's blog

The aviation and aerospace industry uses intricately designed precision parts that are manufactured with high precision. Aerospace investment castings must also undergo heat treatment and quality testing to ensure performance in critical engine and component applications subjected to extreme heat, corrosion and wear.

The investment casting process provides the precision and repeatability needed to produce dimensionally complex parts for high-performance aircraft and aerospace applications. With a wide range of available casting materials and the flexibility to accommodate rapid prototyping and high-volume runs, it is ideal for aerospace part manufacturing.

Aerospace Investment Casting for Prototype Part Production

For those looking for a quick, low-cost alternative to traditional investment casting, the investment casting process produces fully functional investment cast parts with the same strength and performance as traditional investment cast parts. The rapid prototyping investment casting process uses 3D printed models instead of injection molded parts, reducing lead times and ideal for testing new designs.

Examples of aircraft and aerospace investment castings produced by foundries include:
