1. What is Machining?
Machining is the process used to cut and manipulate raw material (investment casting blanks) of a finished product to ensure precision for unique shapes. Cutting, drilling, forming, grinding, and more are used to create final machined investment castings.
One of the main advantages of machining is its precision. Another is that it provides a nicer finished surface, which is important when the part is supposed to create a seal with another component or assembly. Although single machining adds extra production time and cost, the sacrifice is worthwhile if machining can satisfy all the needs of applications.
From agriculture, to mining, medical, aerospace to pumps and valves, machining is of great importance to ensure that any exact requirement is satisfied in machined investment casting.
