AEROSPACE INVESTMENT CASTING
Aerospace Investment Casting is a casting which is a High-tech product. It requests Investment casting manufacturers to produce precision-engineered parts while minimizing material and energy waste. At the same time, there are strict quality tolerance requirements.
Most aerospace components are produced via investment casting. For example:
- Hydraulic system parts
- Air and fuel system parts
- Internal mechanical parts
- Engine parts
- Environment control system parts
- Interface controls for operators
- Cabin control system parts
- Landing control system parts
One feature of Aerospace components is that they must stand up to extreme weather conditions, pressures, and other factors that cause operational wear. So, these parts have to require superior inherent durability. The precision investment casting can increase tensile strength.
The advantages of investment casting process for aerospace applications.
1–Investment casting produces parts with the elaborate designs, thin walls, undercut holes, and slots that aerospace components frequently require.
2–Investment casting has a superior surface finish, reducing or eliminating the need for secondary machining.
3—Investment casting produces parts of different sizes and weights.
4–Investment casting advantages for people who seeking high-quality custom aerospace parts. Not only in producing process quality control but also:
- Ensures each part is tested via digital simulations and prototype test runs
- Lead to realized designs capable of operating through both mild and extreme conditions
- Facilitates detailed visual inspection of components
- Creates highly repeatable replicas through standardize
The metals for Aerospace Investment Casting
Investment castings can be created from multiple alloys. And the final finished product performance also benefits from metals’ qualities.
Material selection is critical. It will impact the unique physical properties. These properties range from increased chemical and corrosion resistance, durability in the face of extreme temperatures. Or other hazardous operating conditions.
The Alloys are used in the aerospace industry include:
- Ni Nickel-Based Alloy Castings, Housing Stem, Aerospace
- Material 17-4: Stainless Steel Alloy Castings, Cargo System Pedal, Aerospace
- Material A356: Aluminum Alloy Castings, Sensor Component, Aerospace
- Titanium investment casting aerospace
Besides the metal materials choosing is important for Aerospace Investment Casting. Below several points are the same value for evaluating investment casting for aerospace components.
1–Perfect Design Process
In the initial design phase, successful design is critical to a component’s long-term performance. For example, Prototyping allows designers to stress test parts and determine their operability in real-world settings.
2–Tight Tolerance
Every measurement allows for some small level of deviation from set specifications, including thickness, diameter, and other related measurements. The more closely that resulting parts can adhere to an application’s measurement requirements, the better they will perform. Investment castings can be made to adhere to very tight tolerance margins, which leads to increased functionality of complex individual parts and complex systems containing multiple parts.
3–Thin and Streamlined Parts
Investment casting designs can be created to feature thin walls without the risk of losing structural integrity. Examples of these include undercuts, slots, threads, and more. Integrating critical assembly requirements into components is no issue for the investment casting process.
