Precision Lost-Wax Casting & Casting Precision
Investment Casting Services & Precision Components
Fedele Autocore provides comprehensive investment casting services and casting precision solutions, also known as lost-wax casting, delivering precision components and casting parts with exceptional dimensional accuracy and superior surface finishes.
Our investment casting capabilities allow us to produce intricate casting parts with thin walls, internal cooling passages, and compound 3D contours in a single casting operation. This process delivers tight tolerances down to ±0.1mm, superior surface finishes (Ra 3.2µm), and minimal secondary machining requirements.
From aerospace turbine blades and medical surgical implants to industrial valve components and pump housings, we serve demanding OEMs across 21 countries, supplying high-integrity casting precision parts in diverse ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.
Key Advantages & Benefits
Investment casting offers unique capabilities for complex precision components.
Complex Geometries
Create intricate shapes with undercuts, thin walls, and internal features that are impossible with other casting methods.
Tight Tolerances
Achieve dimensional accuracy of ±0.005" (±0.13mm) or better, minimizing or eliminating secondary machining operations.
Superior Surface Finish
Excellent as-cast surface finish (Ra 125 microinches or better) reduces finishing requirements and costs.
Material Versatility
Cast virtually any metal alloy including stainless steels, carbon steels, aluminum, titanium, and exotic superalloys.
Design Freedom
Consolidate multiple parts into single castings, reducing weight, assembly time, and overall manufacturing costs.
Cost-Effective
Lower tooling costs compared to forging and die casting, ideal for medium production volumes and prototypes.
Investment Casting Manufacturing Process
Time-tested precision casting methodology for superior results.
Wax Pattern Creation
Precise wax replicas of the final part are created by injecting molten wax into aluminum dies, capturing all design details.
Pattern Assembly
Multiple wax patterns are assembled onto a central wax sprue, creating a tree-like structure for efficient casting.
Shell Building
The wax assembly is dipped in ceramic slurry and coated with refractory sand, building ceramic layers.
Dewaxing & Firing
The ceramic mold is heated in an autoclave to melt out wax, then fired at high temperature to form a rigid shell.
Metal Pouring
Molten metal is carefully poured into preheated ceramic molds, filling cavities with precision.
Shell Removal & Finishing
Ceramic shell is broken away, parts cut from sprue, and final grinding and heat treatment performed.
