CHALLENGES IN DESIGNING OF INVESTMENT CASTINGS

The process of investment casting is specified over the other manufacturing methods due to unlimited flexibility of design. This flexibility permits one to take full advantage of the functional choices without making concessions necessary to fabricate the component by other means. Designers recommend the use of investment casting in any of the following situations: (a) … Continue reading CHALLENGES IN DESIGNING OF INVESTMENT CASTINGS
