| 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. |
