Investment Casting

• Investment casting is an old technique of
  casting. It is establish from a lost-wax casting.

Continuous Casting
Process of Continuous Casting
Continuous casting referred as a strand casting.
It is a process for continuous, high volume
production of metal. In this process molten steel
is converting into semi-finished slab for rolling
into finishing mills. This method is used for
produce different shapes like pipes, wires,
roads, and plates of the metal. Continuous
casting methods is used for aluminum alloys,
copper alloys and other metals.

Centrifugal Casting
Centrifugal casting is also referred as a
rotocasting. In this technic cast thin-walled
cylinders are used. It is a gravity and pressure
independent casting. It is used for water and gas
pipes, piston rings, clutch plates and cylinder
liners. Centrifugal casting method is categorized

Permanent Mold Casting
Permanent mold casting is also known as a gravity
die casting. In this casting process mold which
made from metal like iron or steel is repetitive
use. Permanent mold casting is used in aircraft
and rocket parts, cylinder heads, pump parts
casting, and compressors. Gravity die casting,
Low pressure die casting, and High pressure die
castings are sub type of the permanent mold
