66th Technical Conference & Exposition
CASTING CONTEST
FINALISTS Investment Casting Realizes Time and Cost Savings
“When this company first came to us, they were trying to design a casting using weldment knowledge,” comments Paul Leonard. “After several iterations and our input, we finally agreed on a design that would achieve everything that they initially wanted and much more, without any of the machining that would be required for a weldment.” The most difficult challenge of this combustion heat exchanger
was its 66 slots. It took the foundry several iterations before finally achieving 100% fill of the 0.034” thick ribs, while keeping the slots clean and achieving the +/- 0.001” tolerance requested by the customer.
By manufacturing this component as an investment casting, the customer realized a shorter production lead time and lower manufacturing costs than originally anticipated.
PART: Combustion Heat Exchanger Size: 10.100 x 3.125 x 3.560” Alloy: Inconel 625
Notes: Investment casting surpasses customer expectations of cost and lead time.
