Die casting is a high-pressure casting process where molten non-ferrous metals are forced into a steel mold (die) to form complex, precise parts with excellent dimensional accuracy. It is ideal for mass production in industries such as automotive and electronics. Although it involves initial tooling costs, the process uses reusable dies, allowing for high production rates and tight tolerances, good for repeatability.

Sand casting is a traditional metal casting method using molds made from compacted sand to form intricate shapes. It is one of the more versatile casting methods, but precision can be limited. It is valued for its flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and ability to handle high-temperature metals. Example parts made with sand casting are engine blocks or valve bodies.

Gravity die casting also uses a mold (die) to form non-ferrous metals, but instead of a high pressure forcing the molten metal into the mold, gravity is only used to pour the molten metal into the mold. It creates stronger and larger products, but is only suitable for lower production volumes.

Investment Casting Services

Capabilities

CM International produces investment casting parts from 1”-30” (12mm-750mm) in size, and works with many materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, iron, and zinc. We offer a 12 week lead time for large orders and our tolerances are always to customer specifications based on the size of the part, with general tolerance per ISO 2768 /ASME Y14.5-2009.

Investment casting, or lost-wax casting, is a precision metal casting process that creates intricate molds by coating a wax pattern with a ceramic shell, melting out the wax, and pouring molten metal into the resulting cavity. It's valued for its ability to produce complex geometries, thin walls, and excellent surface finishes for industries like aerospace, and medical parts. It tends to have higher mass production costs, but can be net cost effective due to the lower finishing costs needed.
