Precision Investment Casting
High temperature demands high performance
When it comes to investment casting, only the best materials give great results. Colloidal silica is the preferred binder in investment casting used in the building of shells for ceramic molds during the investment casting process.
Colloidal silica allows for greater intricacy of design, and its high temperature tolerance and chemical inertness makes it useful for binding a wide variety of refractory materials for the casting of many metals and alloys. Products cast in this way include turbine blades for aerospace engines; turbines and turbo fans; components for the automotive industry, weapons manufacturers, and household appliacances; and medical implants and instruments.
We currently work with several partners in this application area, please contact us for information about our partners that can assist you with your product selection.
