5. low-temperature alloy steels

Alloy Steel casting confirming to various standards like ASTM, IS, DIN, JIS e.g. LCB, LCC, LC-6, CA 15, CA6NM, etc.

Dimension Tolerances:

Investment castings can be produced with a very close control dimension eliminating machining in some of the products. It’s to the buyer’s interest to develop the product with minimum machining allowance to enable him to take advantage of the process. General tolerances which can be achieved by this process are mentioned below. However if required still further tight tolerance, the same can be discussed with the manufacturer and then design the product accordingly.

Dimensions

The dimensions tolerances mentioned are as per Indian Standards 11166 Class II. All tolerances are in +/- tolerances.

Angles

As a general rule, angular tolerances can be held to +/- ½ degree.

Surface Finish

Material Average R.M.S. value
Carbon and low alloy steels 90-125
Stainless Steels 90-125

Moreover, letters, symbols, numbers, holes etc. also can be cast in ‘As-Cast’ conditions by this process.
