Precision is essential for high-performance metal parts. Investment casting typically produces intricate components with smooth surface finishes. However, some still require an additional step to meet the most demanding specifications. That’s where Alternative Surface Grinding (ASG) comes in.
Why Surface Grinding Is Needed for Investment Cast Components
While investment casting offers excellent accuracy and a smooth as-cast finish, many components still require additional refinement to meet ultra-tight tolerances and performance standards. Precision surface grinding is a key secondary process that helps manufacturers:
- Meet exceptionally tight dimensional requirements.
- Achieve mirror-like surface finishes.
- Correct minor surface defects or inclusions
- Remove gates and risers left from the casting tree.
- Prepare surfaces for coatings that require a specific texture.
Even though investment cast components offer an impressive finish on their own, surface grinding ensures they perform flawlessly in demanding environments by enhancing accuracy, consistency, and durability.
