INVESTMENT CASTING

Blue Surge maintains a complete, high production investment casting facility. Intricate parts that would be expensive or impossible to machine are most suitable for investment castings. Fine detail such as splines, holes, bosses, lettering, logos, serrations and even some threads can be cast in.

In many cases the cast parts can be made of more durable alloys at less cost. Often two or more parts of an assembly can be cast as one part. Scrap losses can be reduced to a minimum. In general, you get a better part from investment casting - for less money.

Undergiven are some of the major advantages of investment casting technology:

• Cost Reduction
• Close Dimensional Tolerances
• Weight Reduction
• Design Flexibility (most shapes can be cast)
• Reduces or Eliminates Machining
• Superior Surface Finish (125 rms)
• Alloy Selection for Difficult or Impossible to Machine Parts
• Production Runs Can Be Small or Large
