While investment casting is an excellent process for a near-limitless range of parts and applications, it is vital to work with a foundry that can avoid common casting defects. To consistently produce top-quality investment castings, a foundry must have an up-to-date, well-equipped facility; experienced staff with expertise in metallurgy; and other essential resources. Without these assets, parts can be defective or compromised by poor surface finishes, porosity, distortion, incomplete castings, voids, and more. It is crucial to work with a state-of-the-art industry foundry like PPCP to avoid these issues.
