Investment Casting Industry Pioneer
Precision investment casting example

Barron Industries is a pioneer in the precision investment casting industry, being the first to develop large stainless steel castings for the food machinery industry in the late 1980s.

In 1994, Barron Industries created the largest commercial SLA rapid prototype pattern and casting ever produced - a 300lb gray iron V8 engine block.

In 1998, Barron Industries was named the first precision investment casting manufacturer to achieve QS-9000 certification.

In 2001, we were the first to incorporate a thermal energy deburring operation into cast machined components.

Precision Investment Casting Process

Precision investment casting is an industrial metal forming process that begins with math data and is completed when a finished part is heat-treated, straightened and cleaned. The simplified steps of precision casting include:

  • Creation of a wax pattern
  • Gating to a central sprue
  • Creation of the ceramic mold
  • Removal of the wax pattern by burnout
  • Casting molten metal into the cavity left by the dewaxed pattern
  • Removal of the ceramic shell from the cast mold or cutting the casting from the sprue
  • Finishing and preparing the part for machining and assembly
