Wax Pattern Creation:

The process begins with the production of wax patterns, which are replicas of the final stainless steel product. These patterns are typically created using an injection molding process to ensure precision.

Assembly of Patterns:

The wax patterns are then assembled onto a central runner system to create a tree-like structure, optimizing the casting process and allowing for multiple parts to be cast simultaneously.

Shell Building:

The assembled wax patterns are coated with a ceramic shell. This is done by dipping the pattern into a liquid ceramic slurry and then sprinkling fine sand onto it. The shell is allowed to dry and harden, forming a strong mold.

Wax Removal:

Once the shell is solidified, the wax is melted and drained away, leaving a hollow ceramic shell that will form the shape of the final product.

Preheating the Shell:

The empty ceramic shells are preheated to improve the adhesion of the molten metal and to prevent thermal shock during pouring.

Pouring:

Molten stainless steel is poured into the preheated ceramic shell. The metal fills the cavity, taking on the shape of the original wax pattern.

Machining:

The cast parts undergo various finishing processes, including sandblasting, machining, and polishing, to achieve the desired surface finish and dimensions.

Quality Inspection:

Finally, each part is rigorously inspected for quality and compliance with industry standards before being packaged and shipped to customers.
