Based in Rajkot, India, ICAST ALLOYS LLP has established itself as a technologically advanced leader in the investment casting industry. They specialize in high-precision, near-net-shape components that serve critical sectors like aerospace, defense, and medical.
The following content highlights their unique capabilities and technical advantages.
While many investment casting foundries are limited to small parts, ICAST has carved out a niche for oversized and bulky components.
Weight & Size: They successfully pour single units weighing from 50 grams up to 200 kilograms.
Infrastructure for Scale: Their facility is equipped with a 15-ton high-capacity wax injection press, a 1500mm diameter slurry mixer, and a specialized autoclave designed specifically for large-scale components.
Complex Large Geometry: They specialize in casting intricate, large-scale items like 24-inch boat vents and heavy-duty diffuser housings that traditionally require expensive multi-part fabrication.
ICAST is one of the few foundries capable of handling an exceptionally wide variety of alloys, including "previously un-castable" materials.
Super Alloys & Exotic Metals: Expertise in Nickel Alloys (CW6MC, Cu5MCuC), Cobalt Alloys, and Inconel.
Corrosion-Resistant Metals: High-grade Stainless Steels (CF8, CF8M), Duplex Stainless Steels, and Aluminium Bronze.
High-Strength Aluminum: They produce high-strength aluminum castings up to 23 kg (50 lbs), meeting weight-reduction goals for the aerospace and defense industries.
A core capability of ICAST is their "Conversion Engineering" strategy.
Assembly to Single Casting: They specialize in converting complex 4-part or 5-part fabrications into a single-piece investment casting. This typically reduces customer costs by an average of 30% while increasing structural integrity.
Design Partnership: Their engineering team works directly with client design teams during the R&D phase to ensure "manufacturability," preventing costly re-designs later.
Their vertically integrated production process ensures complete control over quality and lead times.
Casting Simulation: They use advanced software to simulate the pouring and solidification process, identifying potential defects (like porosity or hot spots) before a single tool is made.
Automated Heat Treatment: ICAST utilizes an all-electric heat treatment furnace with automated quenching, ensuring consistent mechanical properties across every batch.
NADCAP Partnership: Through partnerships with NADCAP-certified labs, they provide in-house Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), significantly reducing the time required for certification and delivery.
ICAST delivers components with a high level of repeatable accuracy, reducing the need for secondary machining.
Surface Finish: Capable of achieving a fine surface finish of approximately 3.2 microns.
Dimensional Accuracy: They strictly adhere to international dimensional tolerance standards, ensuring parts are ready-to-use (near-net-shape).
Impeller Specialist: They possess a specialized skill set for casting and balancing open and closed impellers, achieving zero-porosity and high hydraulic efficiency.
