Metal Pouring in Investment Casting
Metal pouring in the investment casting process is a critical step that determines the final quality of the casting. In this stage, we pour molten metal into the ceramic mold under controlled conditions. As a result, we ensure complete mold filling, strong structure, and consistent casting performance.
This is the step of investment casting process.
What is Metal Pouring in Investment Casting?
Metal pouring is the process of filling molten metal into the ceramic mold. In this step, we control temperature and flow to ensure proper casting results.
Melting Process
We melt metal using controlled furnaces to reach the required temperature. This ensures proper fluidity and material performance.
Pouring Process
We pour molten metal into the ceramic mold carefully. We control pouring speed and temperature to ensure smooth filling and avoid defects.
