Investment Casting in Rail
This process allows you to receive parts and components crafted in the right materials for your specific requirements. Whether you need ferrous or non-ferrous metals and alloys, we can provide them for you. For example, we can create castings made from:
- Aluminium
- Bronze
- Cast iron
- Carbon steel
- Stainless steel
- Copper
This list is not extensive so, if you require a specific or exotic material for your project, speak to us and we’ll be happy to accommodate.
Investment casting doesn’t just manufacture components that are high-quality. It also provides you with products that are cost-efficient, that don’t require much assembly and which create minimal waste during the manufacturing process. You can also easily add details like your company name and logo to your castings.
