Benefíts - Why is it Advantageous?
- Possibility of producing complex parts in series
- Greater Design freedom
- Feasibility of replacing two or more fabricated sub-assembling by a single piece casting
- Lighter (reduced weight), stronger components may be designed, without a mismatch, giving an improved aesthetic appearance
- The process permits a high level of consistency, batch to batch
- Compared to other conventional way of manufacturing castings, with lost wax process close dimensional tolerance and a fine smooth grain finished are normally achieved
- The light stressed wax impression dies have a very long life and are not costly considering design complexity
- If required, minor design modification may be made economically without going for few tooling
- Increased productivity can result from reduction or elimination of machining and the consequent deployment of shop floor
- Comparatively small orders can be produced at economical prices
- A high level of metallurgical integrity and strength can be achieved in the lost wax process
