Procedures:
(1)Process Design:Design the tooling according to customs' drawing or sample, set up the pouring system with CAE casting simulation software.
(2)Mould Fabrication:Transfer the drawing or sample into 3D drawing which is applied to aluminum or steel mould fabrication.
(3)Wax Injection:Mix liquid wax slurry and solid wax together, inject wax into metal mould, fetch it out after cooling.
(4)Wax Mold Assembly:Heat the stainless steel welding knife, weld the wax molds together on the gate stick according to technically designed.
(5)Dipping:The wax molds are dipped into waterglass solution, with surface coated by the solution.
(6)Stuccoing:Stucco the dipped wax molds with quartz sand, then dip into induration solution containing ammonium chloride & magnesium chloride and hang to dry. The whole process repeats 6 times.
(7)Wax Removal:Put the thick coated wax molds into wax removal gutter, keep heating. After lost all the wax only sand shell was left.
(8)Sand Shell Preheat:Heat the sand shell in order to strengthen the shell.
(9)Casting:Put the raw material into the induction furnace and melt, add with chemical composition per material spec. After the temperature of molten steel rises to about 1600 degrees, take a pre-pouring chemical analysis, if approved then pour liquid steel into the sand shell by ladle, make sure the shell is filled with liquid steel and then cool off, meanwhile take the testing bar for after-pouring analysis.
(10)Sand Shell Removal:Make the casting free from sand by shaking.
(11)Cutting:Oxyacetylene cut off the castings from gate stick.
(12)Grinding:Grind the ingate and defected surface with grinding wheel.
(13)Heat treatment:Heat treat the casting by nomalizing, annealing, quench+tempering, induction quenching, case hardening and Nitriding per material spec.
(14)Machining:Machine the
castings by CNC according to drawing spec.
(15)Final inspection:Test the parts' mechanical properties by tension tester, impact tester, hardness tester, take NDT with X-ray, UT and M.P.T, final dimension inspection are down by CMM, Measures & Gauges, etc.
(16)Pack & Transport:After rust prevention, pack the parts into plywood or iron case for transportation.
For Investment Casting Process Concept:
Characteristics of casting:
The main advantages of
precision casting are:
Choice of material.
Freedom in design.
Close tolerances
Fine surface finish.
Reduce costs
Investment casting also can be called "precise casting" or "
lost wax casting" or "dewaxing casting". the casting materials can widely used, and no limitation for product shape as well as complex structure. The most important characteristic is the close tolerances control, reduced machining allowances, and fine surface finish. Its application scope can be wider after using the new equipment and advanced technology. In heat processing industry, investment casting can be used for those products which difficult to choice the materials, or materials not easy to form a shape, as well as some
forging pieces with higher cost; while in the casting industry, the
investment casting can be used instead of other casting methods, so as to reduce machining allowances and the cost, improve the dimensional precision and surface finish as well as the mechanical properties, so as to meet the requirements of a higher level product.

Measuring our performance in areas which contribute to our customer's competitiveness.
Creating systems which allow us to repeat sucess with minial variance.
Discovering ways to work more efficiently, in order to increase value to customers with the least cost.
Treating every customers and employees with respect and diginity, recognising that people are the key to our success.
Quality Service = Quality Products
At casting products, customers receive our complete attention. All of our efforts are directed to make sure that customers needs are completely satisified. If the way we work is not quite fit the way you work, we'll adjust accordingly. If customers have unexpected problem or special request, we will take extra effort to handle it quickly and efficiently.
At longxing, quality control is an active, not reactive, function of manufacturing. Quality assurance starts the minute raw materials come in the door and continues through every stage of the casting process. We achieve part-to-part consistency, so the last
casting is the same high quality as the first.
All our manufactures have quality control systems consistent with ISO 9001:2008 and TS16949:2009 quality control systems.Continuing statistical process control and process capability improvement is applied for all products manufacturing process. Our commitment and continuous effort in improving product quality has established our image as a high quality manufacture and supplier.
We aim to be world class, committed to customer satisfaction & to encourage the spirit of leadership amongst our dedicated team by creating a healthy environment for continuous growth, profit and prosperity.
