1. What is lost wax investment casting?
Before casting any jewelry or dental, you must have a wax model, which can be obtained through a 3D printer or traditional wax model making methods. In either case, the wax model determines the casting result. Next, we put the wax molds together to make a small wax tree. Of course, we cannot allow any wax mold to touch, make full use of the casting space and make high-efficiency production.
We put the wax tree in a container and then we can start producing plaster. At this time, we use a vacuum shaker. Under vacuum conditions, the formation of bubbles in the plaster affecting the casting is avoided, and the plaster is filled into the mold. Put the formed plaster mold in a high temperature baking wax oven, so that the wax melts and discharges. The next most important step is to use our mini casting vacuum casting machine, which is a combination of melting and casting, and everything is done under vacuum.
After installing the machine, put the gold into the dry pan, put the plaster mold in the same position, close the lid and start to melt. After the casting is completed, remove the plaster mold, clean the finished product in a sandblasting room, and go through a series of processes such as polishing and polishing. The exquisite jewelry is presented to you.
The SuperbMelt Mini Vacuum Pressurized Jewelry Casting Kit is designed to cast the largest. 300 grams of precious metals and dental metals; the highest temperature can reach 2600℃, suitable for the casting of gold, platinum, palladium and silver; this machine is specially designed for small batch jewelry casting, jewelry sample making, dental casting and some DIY precious metal casting; plus Pressure and vacuum casting ensure that castings are free of porosity and shrinkage; inert gas protection to prevent oxidation of precious metals; PLC control and automatic casting machine functions make manual casting operations more convenient and reduce failures. Any precision jewelry and metal artwork can be perfectly produced using Superbmelt vacuum pressure casting machine. We also provide a complete one-year warranty and on-site training services worldwide.
2. What are the different types of casting process?
Casting is a process that can be done in a wide range of ways. The method you choose to use determines what you end up with.
First, we have the sand casting which is the process one can used to produce sand molds. Sand casting might be a great choice for those looking to produce iron, sheet, and many other nonferrous alloy castings.
Next, we have what is known as the investment casting. With this method, you will need to make some patterns in a fusible material. You will cover the surface of the pattern with many layers of refractory materials.
We also have die casting. This one involves the use of high-pressure metal liquid by pressing it into a precision metal cavity at a very high speed. The metal liquid will then be cooled and solidified under extremely high pressure to form the casting.
There are many other types of casting like low-pressure casting, centrifugal casting, gravity die casting, and on the list goes.
3. What happens in the vacuum chamber?
The vacuum chamber might seem like a complicated place, but that is not what it really is. In this chamber the machine will suck out all the metal into the mold. Note that there is a need for enough force to resist the surface tension of your molten metal.
Unless that is done, your molten metal will just stay there because it will turn into a blob. In the vacuum chamber, there is adequate steady pressure to help you achieve the bottom line without breaking a sweat.
The molten metal is also placed in the vacuum chamber to make sure that there is no air bubbles on the inside. If the air bubbles are not gotten rid of, you will not end up with a product of the best quality.
4. What are the advantages of investment casting?
Investment casting comes with so many benefits. We will look at some of them in pros form. The first and main advantage of investment casting is that the design is highly versatile. You can cast your design in almost any shape that comes to mind.
Versatility of alloy selection is the next reason you should consider using the investment casting method and our investment casting kit. Did you know that you can cast all alloy bases such as nickel, aluminum, cobalt, and copper using investment casting? These alloys are mostly so hard to machine, which is why you should handle them with the help of investment casting.
Investment casting generally has a wide range of applications and comes with tight tolerances. Note that these are some of the many reasons you should consider investment casting.
5. What tools or materials do we need for jewelry casting process?
There are so many things you might want to make as a jeweler. If you would like to invest in this lucrative business, you might want to invest in these tools and materials;
- Flat nose pliers
- Round nose pliers
- Nylon tipped pliers
- Wire cutters
- Titanium alloy,
- Gray iron,
- Aluminum alloy,
- Steel,
- Copper and Zinc
There are other materials like practice material, ruler, disk punch, jeweler’s saw, and many more. Do not forget to invest in wire. Wires are highly versatile, so you need to know what exactly you need to invest in. We have aluminum, rose gold, gold-filled.
Best of all, once you have decided to become one of the best jewelers in the industry, it is vital to make good use of your imagination. If you can make outstanding items at all times, breaking through the market will become one of the easiest things.
Aside from investment casting kit, it is important to always have a lubricant when using a jeweler’s saw. That is the only sure way to keep your fingers safe when doing your thing. Also, the lubricant will ensure that the blades don’t break and that the cutting edge is also preserved.
But again, you don’t have to finish the product on your own due to the level of quality demanded by modern clients, and the fact that there are so many risks involved.
If you try to complete the process on your own, you might start the work, only to learn that you do not have everything that is needed. But since we are specialists, you will never feel disappointed if you let us do the work for you with our investment casting kit and other materials.
The safety standards and regulations are also up to par. As such, you don’t have to risk hurting yourself when our duty is to help you as you focus on other essential aspects of your business.
6. What is a jewelry wax made of?
You will need resin to make your jewelry wax with the help of investment casting kit. This is not a material that is very hard to find. But if you need help finding something of the best quality, do not hesitate to get in touch with Superbmelt. We have trusted dealers globally and we can help you get in touch with some of them.
7. How is vacuum casting method different from centrifugal casting method?
The difference between vacuum casting method and centrifugal casting method is not slight. Unless you are a newbie in the industry, you won’t notice the obvious difference that centrifugal casting method is a technique that is used to produce pipes while the vacuum casting method is used to produce other materials.
In centrifugal casting method, molten metal is poured into a cylindrical mold that spins rapidly. It is the same force of rotation that subjects pressure on your molten metal to provide the desired results.
In a nutshell, it is accurate to state that vacuum casting is a process meant for the elastomers, and you can complete the process with our investment casting kit. The vacuum is needed to draw the molten metal into the mold to give you the desired shape or product.
Many experts will say to you that vacuum casting becomes the best method whenever there is an entrapment problem. While that is true, you might also have many other valid reasons to employ vacuum casting technique.
There is also a huge difference between the machine used for vacuum casting, and the one you will need for centrifugal casting. Your centrifugal machine will make use of the weight of the molten metal as well as the centrifugal force available.
A vacuum casting machine, on the other hand, will use a vacuum to suck your molten metal into the available mold. There is the need of a force to help counter the surface tension of your molten metal.
We wouldn’t wish for you to forget that the vacuum casting method is currently the best, which is why you should give our investment casting kit a shot. It leverages the latest technology to give you the perfect finished products you and your clients deserve.

8. What is investment casting used for?
The process of investment casting can be useful during applications such as making jewelry, precision parts, etc.
Investment casting is a process that comes in handy when you need to make complex-shaped materials that also need tighter tolerances, better surface finishes, and thinner walls that you can get with the help of sand casting.
The thing that makes investment casting stand out from the crowd is the manner in which the mold is created. Some parts of the pattern are made using wax, and then the wax is immersed into a super-fine ceramic.
In the ceramic slurry, there is an alumina and colloidal silica. From there, you will have the mold dried and heated right inside an oven so that the wax melts out to give you a ceramic shell mold that you will then use for casting in our investment casting kit.
Investment casting technique can also be termed as the lost wax process. That name comes from the fact that to complete the process, you will have to melt and get rid of the wax. If you are not sure how to complete this method, we can help you come up with the best parts for your operations.
9. What kind of wax is used in investment casting?
With the help of technology, manufacturers can use a range of methods to craft complex parts of machines and many other things. Investment casting is an old method, but is still used to date. It is a process that involves coming up with a component out of a wax.
