FAQs
Why is investment casting preferred for automotive components?
Investment casting is a preferred method for automotive casting in India, as it produces near-net shape components regardless of complexity. This ensures consistent quality at scale, reducing machining costs and overall total cost of ownership.
Is it possible to cast automobile parts with hollow geometries?
Yes, it is possible to cast automobile parts with hollow geometries. We regularly produce such components using ceramic and solution wax cores.
Do you provide finished components or just rough castings?
We provide rough casting as well as finished components. Our in-house machining shop is equipped with best-in-class VMCs and HMCs that help us deliver high-precision finished components.
Do you provide support at the design stage?
Yes, we provide you with support at the design stage. We have a rapid prototyping process in place using 3D CAD. This helps with quickly validating designs before moving to production, helping you achieve product-application fit and cost-efficiency.
Which is the best metal for investment casting automobile parts?
The best metal for casting automobile parts depends on the part being cast and end-use. Ni-Resist is best for exhaust manifolds, Stainless Steel for EGR valves, and Stellite for engine valve seats.
The right automotive casting manufacturer can help you ship faster and at lower costs.
