Precision Investment / Lost Wax Casting

Maycast-Nokes manufactures precision investment castings in an extensive range of light aluminium alloys, stainless and low carbon steels, as well as a range of copper-based alloys. Full details on the technical specification of the materials we cast can be requested by clicking on 'Properties of Materials' button.

Due to the close tolerances, the thin wall sections and the amount of cast-in detail which can be achieved by precision investment casting the designer has far greater freedom than with any other metal forming process.

In addition to greater flexibility of design, expensive secondary machining operations can be minimised.

Using the latest in materials technology, complex internal features can be achieved using sacrificial water soluble or ceramic cores.

Steel inserts within an aluminium alloy casting offer the designer the elevated mechanical properties of steel in localised areas but without the weight penalties.

Typical applications for precision investment castings include Aerospace, Defence, Communications, Computers, Medical and Chemical Engineering.
