Vacuum induction melting is a method used in investment casting that offers a host of benefits โ and which can be used for a range of applications. This process, which was developed in 1917, was mainly used for alloys like nickel and cobalt at the beginning; however, now that these...
The mining sector relies on large, heavy and complex equipment and machinery for digging, hauling and other applications. Using the right materials for this environment is important because it helps to create durable and complex parts that can withstand harsh conditions. The castings must have highly accurate dimensional tolerances. As...
At Dean Group, we work with a variety of materials, such as nickel and cobalt, as well as its alloys. We use them mainly for the premium grade investment casting process, a method that offers many advantages, including high accuracy, precision and low initial tooling costs. Nickel and cobalt have...
Weโre previously focused on stainless steel, an important material for investment casting โ now, weโre turning our attention to another widely used material that we work with here at Dean Group: carbon steel. Because of its properties, such as strength and ferromagnetism, carbon steel is a popular alloy in several...
Rapid prototyping is quickly becoming an essential part of investment castingโs development process. Before a part gets to production, it must first be conceptualised and designed; prototyping helps companies understand if there are any changes to be made before committing to manufacturing that part. Not only does it just open...
There's no denying that the pandemic has had a big impact on UK manufacturing โ and still continues to affect the sector on an ongoing basis. Itโs also true that the outbreak has helped companies to discover weaknesses and opportunities to improve in their business, so there are many lessons...
