Silicasol investment casting
Complex shapes.
A considered process.
Dana uses silicasol lost wax casting to produce metal components. Machining and surface treatment complete the manufacturing route according to the requirements of the finished part.
- Review the part drawing and material
- Plan the casting and secondary operations
- Confirm the final finish and inspection requirements
Step by step
Built around the finished part.
Wax pattern
A wax pattern defines the component geometry. Patterns are assembled in preparation for the investment casting shell.
Shell & casting
The silicasol shell is built around the wax pattern. After wax removal, the prepared shell is used for metal casting.
Precision machining
Functional faces, bores and connection features are machined according to the approved component drawing.
Finish & review
The specified surface treatment and component checks complete the agreed manufacturing route.
Beyond the casting
Machined.
Finished. Ready.
Bring the casting and secondary operations together in one enquiry. Dana’s range includes machined parts, mirror polished parts and components supplied with a specified surface treatment.
