OUR PROCESSES
How Brass Investment Casting Process Works
- 1
A wax or plastic pattern of the desired shape is created
- 2
The pattern is coated in a refractory material to form a mold
- 3
The mold is heated to melt out the wax or plastic
- 4
Molten brass is poured into the mold
- 5
The brass solidifies inside the mold
- 6
Thereafter, you will remove the casting from the mold
