Additionally, Aluminum Precision Casting, while primarily focused on aluminum, has also ventured into zinc die casting to meet customer demand. By integrating advanced automation and quality control measures, they produce intricate zinc components that are both functionally robust and cost-effective.

Stainless steel sand casting finds applications across various industries. In the automotive sector, it is used to manufacture parts such as brackets and housings. The aerospace industry utilizes sand-cast stainless steel components for engine parts and structural elements due to their weight-to-strength ratio and heat resistance. Additionally, in the marine industry, stainless steel castings are essential for ship fittings and other components exposed to saltwater, where corrosion resistance is critical.

The investment casting process begins with creating a pattern, typically made of wax, that replicates the desired part's geometry. This pattern is coated with a ceramic shell, which when heated, melts away the wax, leaving behind a hollow mold. The molten metal is then poured into this mold, allowing for complex shapes and fine details that are often unattainable through traditional casting methods. After the metal solidifies, the ceramic shell is broken away, yielding a high-quality finished component.
