What is diecasting?
Diecasting is a metal casting process in which molten metal is forced under high pressure into a mold cavity. It is efficient, economical and offers a broader range of shapes and components than any other manufacturing technique.
As well as producing durable, heat resistant parts with a long service life, diecasting is also a high-speed process which can deliver quick and accurate results in multiple finishes.
Investment Casting
This method, sometimes referred to as lost-wax casting, involves creating a wax pattern by injecting wax into a pattern die. The pattern is then attached to a runner system and this assembly is dipped into a hard setting refractory slurry and cured. Then the wax pattern is melted out of the mould to leave an exact cavity, the mould is heated to cure the refractory and then molten metal can be poured in. Once the metal is solid the mould is broken away from the casting.
This is the process that most of our stainless balustrades are produced.
Investment castings have the advantages of low tooling costs, a high quality surface finish and can be used with many different alloys.
