Quality Control in Steel Investment Casting
Quality control in steel investment casting is integral to ensuring precise and reliable components. The process begins with a thorough inspection of wax patterns, correcting any deviations from design specifications. Subsequent checks verify the ceramic shell’s integrity and uniform coating, with a keen focus on eliminating wax residues during the dewaxing process. Critical stages like […]
Tighter Tolerances Can Mean a Change in Manufacturing Process
Specifying tighter than standard tolerances can actually change the optimal manufacturing process for your parts. For example, a hole that can be machined on a vertical mill at one tolerance range may need to be bored on a lathe in a tighter tolerance range, adding set-up costs and lead time. Even tighter tolerance requirements may require grinding […]
