Precision Lost Wax Casting
Lost wax casting is a precision casting process. First, a wax mold is made according to the shape of the desired casting. Then, a refractory material is coated on the outside of the wax mold to form a solid casting shell. Then, the wrapped wax mold is heated to melt the wax and flow out, leaving a hollow mold cavity. Then, the molten metal is injected into the mold cavity. After the metal is cooled and solidified, the mold shell is removed to obtain a lost wax casting. This process requires strict control of the temperature, time, and material quality of each link to ensure the high quality of the casting.

Anodizing: refers to the process of placing the metal in an appropriate electrolyte and forming an oxide film on the metal surface through the action of external current. This layer of oxide film has the characteristics of high hardness, high corrosion resistance, and high insulation, which can protect the metal surface from environmental erosion, and improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the metal.
Electroplating: A process that uses the principle of electrolysis to coat the surface of a metal or other material with a layer of metal or alloy. This process, through the action of electrolysis, makes the surface of metal or other materials attached to a layer of metal film, to prevent metal oxidation (such as rust), and improve wear resistance, electrical conductivity, reflective property, corrosion resistance, and the appearance of the effect.
Spraying is a coating method by spraying a gun or dish atomizer, with the help of pressure or centrifugal force, the paint is dispersed into uniform and fine droplets, which are applied on the surface of the coated object.
Brushed is a surface treatment method that forms lines on the surface of the workpiece by grinding the product to play a decorative effect. Because the surface drawing treatment can reflect the texture of metal materials, it has been loved by more and more users and is more and more widely used.
Sandblasting is a process for surface treatment of workpieces. The compressed air is used as the power to form a high-speed jet beam to spray the spray material (copper ore, quartz sand, emery, iron sand, sea sand) to the surface of the workpiece to be treated at high speed so that the appearance or shape of the workpiece surface is changed.
Polishing refers to the use of mechanical, chemical, or electrochemical action to reduce the surface roughness of the workpiece to obtain a bright, flat surface processing method. Is the use of polishing tools and abrasive particles or other polishing media to modify the surface of the workpiece.
Stainless steel is known for its corrosion resistance, making it the first choice for medical equipment and food processing equipment.

The main difference between lost wax casting and hollow lost wax casting is that hollow lost wax casting is a type of lost wax casting that creates a hollow core in the final metal product: Lost wax casting This process uses a wax model to create a mold for a metal product, then the wax is melted away to create a hollow space for the molten metal. The mold is usually made of plaster or ceramic. Hollow lost wax casting This type of lost wax casting creates a hollow core in the final metal product. The ancient Greeks used hollow lost wax casting to make large bronze statues by casting them in pieces, such as the head, torso, and arms.
Lost wax casting ring molds are used to make complex metal rings by pouring molten metal into a mold initially made from a wax pattern. The process involves the following steps:
1. Designing a wax pattern of the metal.
2. Make a mold around the wax pattern.
3. Melt the wax, leaving a cavity in the mold.
4. Pouring molten metal into the mold cavity to form the metal part.
The main difference between direct lost wax casting and indirect lost wax casting is the way the wax model is made. Direct lost wax casting is to use wax to make a mold directly, and then cast the product; indirect lost wax casting is to first make a metal original mold, use the metal original mold to make a silicone mold, and then use the silicone mold to inject wax to get a wax film.
