Investment Casting for Electrical Power Equipment

Parts for electrical equipment are expected to combine conductivity, corrosion resistance and accurate dimensions.

Why Investment Casting for Electrical Equipment Parts?

Investment casting produces small, detailed forms such as terminals and connectors in series. On bronze parts it also reduces material loss.

Typical Parts

Terminals and connectors, contact carriers, clamps and suspension parts, housings and covers.

Material Selection

Bronze is preferred where conductivity matters, aluminum for lightweight housings and stainless steel for outdoor connections.

Tolerances and Quality

We cast parts to customer drawings. We can produce parts from 1 g to 25 kg and meet VDG P690 D3, the most precise class of the standard. See our tolerances page for the values.

Design Points for Electrical Equipment Parts

• Check wall thickness around mounting points and housings so the part fills evenly.
• Mark sealing and contact surfaces on the drawing so machining stays on them.
• Choose aluminium where weight matters and stainless steel where corrosion is a risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which materials are used for Electrical Equipment parts?

A356 aluminium, 316 and 304 stainless steels and bronze are common choices, depending on weight, corrosion and wear.

Can a housing and its brackets be cast as one part?

Often yes. Investment casting can combine several welded or assembled pieces into one casting if the geometry allows it.

What part sizes and tolerances can you cast?

We cast parts from 1 g to 25 kg and meet tolerances up to VDG P690 D3.

What do you need for a quotation?

A drawing or 3D model, the material and the annual quantity. Price and minimum order quantity depend on the part.
