Facility

Welcome to ICAST ALLOYS LLP: Precision in Motion

At ICAST ALLOYS LLP, we specialize in high-quality investment casting (also known as the lost-wax process). Our state-of-the-art facility is designed to deliver complex, near-net-shape components with exceptional surface finish and dimensional accuracy.

Whether you are in the aerospace, automotive, medical, or general engineering sector, our facility is equipped to handle a wide range of alloys and intricate geometries.

Our facility follows a rigorous, multi-stage production line to ensure every part meets international quality standards.

  • Pattern Injection: We use high-precision wax injection machines to create accurate wax replicas of your components.

  • Tree Assembly: Wax patterns are expertly assembled onto a runner system (sprue) to create a "casting tree," optimizing the yield per pour.

  • Ceramic Shell Building: The assembly is dipped into high-grade ceramic slurry and coated with stucco sand. This process is repeated multiple times in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment to ensure shell integrity.

  • Dewaxing: Using advanced steam autoclaves, we remove the wax, leaving behind a high-strength ceramic mold.

  • Melting & Pouring: Our induction melting furnaces allow for precise temperature control. We pour molten metal into pre-heated shells to ensure complete filling of thin walls and fine details.

  • Knock-out & Finishing: After cooling, the ceramic shell is removed. Parts undergo shot blasting, gate removal, and grinding to achieve the final desired finish.
