What is Lost Foam Casting?
Lost Foam Casting is a specialized casting process that uses a foam pattern, typically made from polystyrene, to create complex metal parts. The process begins by creating a foam pattern of the desired part, which is then coated with a ceramic or refractory material to form a mold. Once the mold is prepared, it is heated to vaporize the foam pattern, leaving behind a cavity in the shape of the part. Molten metal is poured into this cavity, filling it and solidifying it to form the final part.
Lost Foam Casting is ideal for producing parts with intricate geometries and fine details that are difficult to achieve using traditional casting methods. It offers high accuracy, a smooth surface finish, and design flexibility, making it suitable for industries like automotive, aerospace, and machinery.
