Structural Castings

Complex Geometry: Components with intricate shapes, thin walls, and complex internal passages. Aerospace applications often require parts with optimized designs for weight reduction, improved aerodynamics, and enhanced performance.

Material:Aerospace components are typically made from high-performance alloys that offer excellent strength, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance. Common materials include nickel-based alloys (such as Inconel and Hastelloy), titanium alloys, stainless steels, and aluminum alloys.

Weight Reduction: The advantage of near-net-shape manufacturing, minimizing the need for excessive machining and reducing material waste. This is particularly important in aerospace, where weight reduction is critical for fuel efficiency and overall performance.

Quality and Precision: Offers exceptional dimensional accuracy, ensuring tight tolerances and consistent quality. This is vital for aerospace applications where precision is crucial for proper component fit, alignment, and overall system performance.

Heat Resistance: Aerospace components, especially those in gas turbine engines, operate under extreme temperature conditions. Investment castings are capable of withstanding high temperatures and thermal cycling, making them suitable for hot sections of engines and other high-temperature applications.

Testing and Certification: The investment castings undergo rigorous testing and quality assurance procedures to meet the industry’s stringent requirements. This includes non-destructive testing (such as X-ray, ultrasound, and dye penetrant inspection) to ensure the absence of defects and flaws that could compromise structural integrity.

 

Investment casting, also known as precision casting or lost-wax casting, is a manufacturing process used to produce complex and high-quality metal components. This process have revolutionized the aerospace industry by enabling the production of intricate, lightweight, and high-performance components. They offer superior design flexibility, material properties, and quality control, making them an essential manufacturing method for aerospace applications.
