Investment Casting Process

[movvvv]

Thank you! Veri nice video for engineering students :)

I also have a question for you... I want to make an aluminium part by investment casting then milling a central void and then finish. It is a fuel tank connection for an aircraft. Should I just cast all the part and skip the milling, or should I do it the way I mentioned... Any help will be appreciated :)

Can any flywheel be made using this process?

[fafajardo09]

he really has that "order right now" charisma like ron popiel without the "wait there's more" line. @3minutes i just want to call, and order investment casting :))

thanks a lot that helped me to understand the process which i need for my exam tomorrow :-)

[TheMrGreenie]

How many times does he need to say "investment casting?"

[giriisindahouse]

How nice it would be if this is the way all the knowledge based vids are

what dose it says at 4:50, additional what?

[Hossavic]

@dollerkid additional coats of progressively coarser grades of material ...

What kind of metals would you usually cast with? Normal metals have too much shrinkage as they cool. If it is metal alloys that have reduced or no shrinkage depending on the combination, that shit gets expensive.

@JulietRomeoJuliet i think they mostly do stainless steel, i might be wrong tho so its probably best if you research

Great video. Now I don't have to try to explain what my molds do. Most dont grasp the concept.

[IconicFiber]

AWESOME

[jimritem]

This was completely new to me despite the fact that I design cast, molded and forged parts among other things. Thanks!!!

[megnitute]

very nice ... i rate 10/10

nice video ,,,,, useful

[dddproject]

so whats the investment made out of? stucco and sand?

[drocketman2000]

Actually, it was initially called investment casting due to the fact that substantial amounts of time and money were invested in making the molds for the parts. Carving out a steel block to make a mold cavity is NOT cheap by any means. A metal mold was used to make the wax positives at the beginning, right? That was where the major "investment" was made there. After that, it was the "lost wax" molding method being used as the wax positive was "lost" when it was melted. Savvy?

@drocketman2000 So why isn't the metal mold used in the first place?

[FSMonster]

@randomshinichi

Because it would fuse (weld) to the molten metal as well as deform. Also, you would need to make mold for every piece you want to produce. Complex shapes are easier to make with this method.

[randomshinichi]

@FSMonster I Know. I was replying to drocketman2000.

[questionful]

@drocketman2000 you don't need steel for casting wax. aluminum or other cheaper metals would do fine. and not very expensive considering it's just one or a few molds.
