Lost Wax Casting Basket

A lost wax casting basket is a tool used in the lost wax casting process. Lost wax casting is an ancient casting process used to create complex-shaped metal products. Lost wax casting baskets are usually made of high temperature resistant materials, such as ceramics or metals, and have a certain degree of strength and fire resistance.
In the lost wax casting process, a wax pattern is first made and then placed into a lost wax casting basket. Next, place the casting basket into the sandbox and pour the mortar so that it completely covers the wax pattern and casting basket. After the mortar is solidified, the entire sandbox is placed in a high-temperature furnace for sintering. During the sintering process, the wax pattern will be burned away, leaving a cavity. Finally, pour the molten metal into the cavity, wait for the metal to cool and solidify, take out the sand box, remove the mortar, and obtain the desired metal product.
The lost wax casting basket plays a role in supporting and protecting the wax pattern during the entire lost wax casting process, ensuring that the mortar can completely cover the wax pattern and can withstand high temperatures and pressure during the sintering and casting processes. At the same time, the lost wax casting basket can also guide the flow of metal so that the metal can fully fill the cavity and ensure the integrity and quality of the casting.
In short, the lost wax casting basket is an indispensable tool in the lost wax casting process. It plays a key role in the entire casting process and ensures the quality and shape of the casting.
