Investment Castings

Investment casting design and manufacturing is a core competence of Discover Global. Our casting foundries in Asia are able to manufacture tight tolerance precision investment castings for many different industries. These investment castings are high quality and a very cost effective manufacturing solution. Our casting foundries in Asia work closely with our US engineers to produce high-quality, precision, repeatable investment castings.

Investment castings are one of the more popular methods for producing repeatable metal parts with significant cast-in features or details. Because investment castings or lost wax castings are labor intensive, we are able to utilize our lower cost structures in Asia to provide a low cost final product. We are also able to offer finished machining, plating and other secondary operations for your lost wax castings with little additional cost. Manufacturing engineers in the US develop setup and manufacturing processes for our foundries in Asia to maximize yields and lower overall costs.

Our foundries in Asia use American style investment casting techniques that provide greater details on the surface of the casting, and the solidification pathway of the entire tree is consistently controlled. We also use injection presses for our wax parts instead of pour molds. The dimensional stability from part to part of injected wax is more repeatable than pour molds.

Our casting foundries produce investment castings in the following materials:

  • Steel
  • Aluminum

  • Stainless steel
  • Nickel alloy

  • Cobalt alloy
  • Iron

Our foundries in Asia are able to produce close tolerance or precision castings, with value added machining, plating, high finish and assembly if needed. This allows us to produce a variety of investment castings for the industrial and energy related industries, including pressure-containing components.

Our warehouse and logistics centers in Asia and our headquarters in Youngstown, Ohio can make sure all of your delivery needs are met. In addition, our headquarters in Youngstown, Ohio can warehouse product and provide next day service for larger volume forecasted orders. We have routine shipments of containers coming into the United States in order to provide competitive pricing on small and large orders.

Discover Global’s sand castings and casting foundries in Asia manufacture a wide variety of products for many different industries. These sand casting parts are high quality and very cost effective. Sand casting still remains one of the more popular methods for producing inexpensive, ductile iron repeatable castings with significant cast-in features. Because sand casting or ductile gray iron casting process typically requires a large amount of labor, we are able to utilize our low cost structures in Asia to provide a low cost final product. We are also able to offer finished machining and other secondary operations for your gray iron casting products for little additional cost.

Most of our customers, when utilizing sand casting services, prefer to use gray iron casting because of its physical characteristics and cost. Discover Global also utilizes other metals and alloys to make the following sand castings:

  • Aluminum
  • Brass

  • Bronze
  • Stainless Steel

  • Gray Iron
  • Other alloy combinations

Gray Iron Casting Benefits

Gray iron casting (sand casting) is suitable for a wide range of products including many components within the automotive, oilfield, heavy-machinery and transportation industries. Discover Global gray iron casting is favored for many of its properties listed below:

  • High temperature properties
  • Excellent resistance to cracking

  • Low Cost Finishing Options: machining, chemical-treating, annealing, assembly, “heat-treat & machine complete”
  • Prototype or full production runs

  • All types of CAD files accepted
  • Engineering and design assistance can be provided

High/Low Pressure Die Castings

For labor intensive die castings we are able to utilize our low cost structure in Asia to provide a low cost final product. Discover Global’s die casting foundry in Asia is able to manufacture low pressure and high pressure die castings specializing in aluminum and magnesium die castings. Low pressure die casting is commonly used for larger high strength parts, whereas high pressure castings are used for tight tolerance detailed geometry.

Discover Global’s high pressure die castings foundry in Asia has the ability to design and manufacture close tolerance die cast metal products for many different industries. We utilize many different types of metal to produce:

  • Aluminum castings
  • Magnesium die castings

  • Bronze castings
  • Copper castings

  • Zinc castings with plating, finished machining, polishing and other secondary operations.

High pressure die castings are able to maintain tighter tolerances and more detail than low pressure die casting because the extra pressure utilized is able to push the metal into more detailed features in the mold. Aluminum and magnesium die casting in Asia has become very popular due to the high quality and low costs we deliver.

Our high pressure die castings have excellent surface finishes that are consistent dimensionally with precision features and minimum draft. We are one stop sourcing for engineered castings. Die casting alloys are non-ferrous and there are a large number available with a wide range of physical and mechanical properties to cover almost every application a designer might need.

The high pressure die casting process provides a high quality affordable solution for repeatable metal products. Our die cast parts are made in Asia and used for many industries including electronics, pumps and valves, propane gas, automotive, aerospace, business and office, construction and medical. Be sure to visit our other metal manufacturing pages for more information on other manufacturing techniques. We offer state of the art die casting production capabilities in Asia and complete secondary finishing capabilities.
