Precision Investment Castings
Advantages
We are the leading manufacturers of metal castings, metal investment castings and metal precision castings, etc. Investment Casting is the most preferred casting method for a wide array of Industrial components. The
advantages of using the process for manufacturing are:
- Small, intricate, or hard-to-machine shapes can be produced much
more efficiently .
- Extremely versatile to produce wide range of cast components.
- Greater freedom of Design and flexibility for very simple to
highly complex parts.
- Close dimensional tolerance & almost near to net shape with
precise dimensional control.
- Elimination and reduction of cumbersome and expensive machining.
- Increases productivity & cost-effectiveness.
- Better As Cast surface finish.
- Casting parts with inherent soundness, superior density,
uniformity & strength, better physical properties as compared
with other casting process.
- Choice for wide range of metals including Super Alloy base
metals.
- Less expensive tooling than Die Casting.
Quality Assurance
Sajjan Precision Castings has
improvised its focus towards producing zero-defect products. All our
products conform to various Indian and international standards. Besides,
the company has ISO 9001:2000 certification for implementing Total
Quality Management in its business operations. The in-house Quality
Assurance and Control (QA&C) department test each products several
times on different quality parameters before the delivery. For testing,
we have following facilities:
Chemical Laboratory :
Well equipped laboratory with spectrometer for analyzing all chemical
elements.
Physical Testing Laboratory :
Equipped with universal tensile testing machine and impact testing
machine to measure Brinell, Rockwell and Vickers hardness.
Standards Room :
Air-conditioned standards room equipped with digital height, slip
gauges and vernier calipers for dimensional checking of machined and
unmachined castings as well as tools.
Non-Destructive Testing :
Facilities for magnetic particle inspection and liquid penetrant
inspection, together with well developed recognized ancillary facilities
for Radiography.

Tolerances & Dimensions
SURFACE FINISH
As-cast finishes will vary with alloy specified but generally fall
within the range quoted. For a ground finish an allowance of 0.010 in.
(0.25mm) should be made.

GENERAL TOLERANCES
Shape and alloy selected will influence accuracies achieved but values
given are normally accepted through out the investment casting industry.
Closer tolerance may be held on
selected dimensions following design evaluation.
STRAIGHTNESS
There are practical limits to straightness which can be achieved but
mechanical straightning can reduce variations.

FLATNESS
Flatness is also affected by dimensions of casting. Addition of ribs
will minimize bowing, twisting and distortion and mechanical
straightning will reduce variations where necessary.

CAST HOLES
Depth (D) and Diameter(d) of hole must allow for adequate penetration
of investment material. Values given show usual limits for cast holes
but pre-formed ceramic cores allow this restrictions tobe exceeded,
although usually at increased cost.

CONCENTRICITY
The larger the outside diameter becomes, the closer to concentric an
inside diameter can be cast. Mechanical correction can normally be made
where wall thickness is thin enough to allow plastic deformation.

ROUNDNESS
For solid bars roundness is affected by solidification stresses and
tolerance required increases nearly in proportion to diameter, inline
with usual 'Lost Wax' tolerances. Values shown are for as-cost roundness

thickness is important and tighten tolerance can be obtained by
mechanical correction if desired.
