Investment casting process is a foundry process by which a metal part is produced from an investment mold that is formed by a heat-disposable pattern such as wax. Investment casting process is also termed as the lost wax method. These castings are commonly used in defense aircraft, launch vehicles, helicopters, regional jets, and commercial transport. Investment casting process is known for its highly accurate, and, near-net-shape.
Key factors driving the investment casting market include decentralized power generation, optimization of the casting process through simulations, and rising trend of pipeline connectivity and movement of natural gas. Rapid growth in the aerospace & defense sector will drive the demand for investment casting in the near future. Foundries must overcome the challenge of high energy cost as the energy consumption at every stage is immense. On the other hand, need for high initial capital investment is a major drawback of investment castings. The requirement of machinery for large scale production leads to high initial cost. Moreover, the preparation of the wax molds is a time consuming, labor-intensive process. These are some of the major factors hampering the growth of the investment casting market.
