Stainless Steel 304 316 Investment Casting (Silica Sol Precision Casting) Parts used in the Railway Industry

Silica sol precision casting—also known as silica sol investment casting or lost-wax casting—is a high-precision metal casting process widely used in aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, medical devices, industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, and architectural hardware.
This process delivers tight dimensional tolerances (CT4–CT6), excellent surface finishes (Ra 1.6–3.2 μm), and allows the production of complex geometries and thin-walled structures that are difficult to achieve with other casting methods.

Description

Silica Sol Precision Casting Process
STEP 01
Wax Pattern Creation
Wax patterns are produced according to the customer’s CAD drawings or samples. This step determines the final dimensions, shape, and surface quality.
STEP 02
Shell Building with Silica Sol Slurry
The wax pattern is repeatedly dipped in a high-purity silica sol slurry and coated with refractory zircon sand, forming a strong ceramic shell.
STEP 03
Drying
Each layer is dried in a constant temperature and humidity environment to avoid cracks and ensure shell integrity.
STEP 04
Dewaxing & Shell Sintering
Wax is removed, and the ceramic shell is sintered at high temperature to achieve strength and dimensional stability.
STEP 05
Metal Pouring
Molten stainless steel 304, 316, carbon steel, alloy steel, or non-ferrous alloys are poured into the shell.
STEP 06
Shell Removal & Cleaning
The shell is broken away, and the raw casting is cleaned of any residual material.
STEP 07
Heat Treatment & Finishing
Heat treatments such as annealing, hardening, tempering, or surface hardening are applied to improve mechanical properties. Surface treatments like electropolishing or mirror polishing are available upon request.


Advantages of Silica Sol Investment Casting

· High Dimensional Accuracy – Tolerance grade CT4–CT6, ISO 8062 standards.
· Excellent Surface Finish – Ra 1.6–3.2 μm as-cast, Ra 0.8–3.2 μm after machining.
· Complex Shape Capability – Thin walls (0.5–0.8 mm) and intricate geometries.
· Material Versatility – Stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, aluminum alloys, copper alloys.
· Reduced Machining – Near-net-shape production reduces post-processing time and cost.
· OEM & ODM Service – Fully customized according to drawings or samples.
