Types of Water-glass Investment Castings

 

Water-glass Casting For Valve Components

Water-glass Casting for Valve Components

 

Water - glass - choose high - quality water - glass with appropriate modulus and concentration. Modulus also affects bonding power as also speed of hardening. In case of valve parts, a water - glass having 2.4 - 3.0 modulus is generally used in a way that quality coating as also quality of housing is achieved.

Water-glass Casting for Pumps

 

Water - glass casting, which is also referred to as sodium silicate casting, is a cast that is predominantly utilized in pump production. The pump that is cast is highly dimensionally accurate with a high quality surface that is appropriate both in industrial as well as in domestic usage.

Water-glass Casting for Automotives

 

Water - glass casting, also known as sodium silicate casting, is a universal process of investment casting that is greatly accepted in the automotive industry. The procedure is cost - effective in producing highly shaped vehicle components with relatively high accuracy.

Water-glass Investment Castings Process
 
01/

Wax Injection
For each casting to be made, melted wax is injected into a mold to produce a wax pattern of the casting. The wax molds are constructed of Aluminum and sized to account for shrinkage in the wax and metal that are being used. Wax tooling ranges from simple two-piece dies to multi-cavity automated dies and complex dies featuring water-soluble or ceramic cores.

02/

Wax Assembly
Once the wax patterns have cooled and settled to a stable size and shape, they are mounted onto a sprue or tree. The sprue, also made of wax, contains all of the necessary gates, runners, and supports to adequately feed the part during the casting process.

03/

Shell Building
The wax sprue is now "invested" in ceramics to create the mold for the metal to be poured into. The ceramic consists of two parts, a liquid slurry covered with dry sand. Each sprue is covered in multiple layers of slurry and sand until the ceramic shell is thick enough to hold up during the casting process. The shell building process usually takes 24 hours, with anywhere from 2 days to almost 2 weeks for the shells to fully dry.

04/

Dewax
Once the shell has fully dried, the wax is melted out using an autoclave to counteract the expansion of the wax. The shells are then fired to remove any remaining wax residue and cure the ceramic shell. Once the shells have been fired, they are now ready for the casting process.

05/

Casting
The processed shells are placed back in the oven to be pre-heated prior to casting. Once the shells are at the proper temperature and the molten metal has been prepared and qualified, the shells are removed from the oven and the metal is poured into the shells.

06/

Finishing
The shell is hammered, media blasted, vibrated, waterjet, or chemically dissolved (sometimes with liquid nitrogen) to release the casting. The sprue is cut off and recycled. The casting may then be cleaned up to remove signs of the casting process, usually by grinding.

FAQ

 

 

Q: What are the applications of water-glass investment castings?

A: Water Glass Casting is usually used on low-alloy steel, carbon steel, and stainless steel components. It is also used on those with a large casting. Steel castings from 0.05 to 80 kilograms are possible using investment casting with glass. Its application can be found mos in the production of trailers, farming equipment, and the offshore sector.

Q: What is water-glass investment castings?

A: Its casting process is very similar to investment casting (that is the lost wax investment casting method). It is a technology that uses water glass as the binder for the shell to cast. The process provides a far superior surface finish and dimensional precision to that achieved through sand casting. And more complex shapes can be achieved.

Q: Does samples available before order?

A: Yes, if it is the stock product, the sample can be sent for free in 3 days, if customized, will be sent within 7 days.

Q: How about the sample policy?

A: We can provide free sample. However, you have to pay the cost of courier by express like: DHL, TNT, UPS and FEDEX.
