Dimensional Tolerances for Steel Castings
Dimensional Tolerances
Dimensional tolerance and size are the most important factors in deciding if investment casting is the right solution for your project. Tolerance is set on by the shape and the size of a part and includes both geometric and linear factors such as :
- Length
- Concentricity
- Roundness
- Parallelism
- Flatness
- Straightness
- Angularity
- Perpendicularity
So, What Dimensional Tolerances Can Be Achieved By Using Investment Casting?
The main factors for determining geometric and linear tolerances are size and shape. For projects that require strict tolerances, Investment casting is an excellent option as it produces parts with great accuracy and repeatability. General parameters for linear investment casting tolerances are shown below :
Advantage Of Using Investment Casting
- Flexible Design
- Less Waste, Strong Manufacturing Cost
- Tighter Tolerance (More Precise)
- Excellent and smooth surface finish
- Reduce the need for secondary machining.
- Wide selection of cast metals and alloys
