Investment Casting for Agricultural Machinery

Agricultural machinery works in dust, mud, moisture and impact. Parts must be durable and must not fail during the season.

Why Investment Casting for Agricultural Machinery Parts?

Investment casting produces complex connecting and mechanism parts in one piece. Consistent dimensions across series orders make spare parts easier to replace.

Typical Parts

Arms and joints, brackets, connecting parts, clutch and mechanism elements.

Material Selection

4140 is used for heat-treated parts, low-carbon steels for welded parts and stainless steels for parts in contact with fertilizers and chemicals.

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 Agricultural Machinery Parts

• Consider exposure to soil, moisture and fertiliser when choosing the alloy.
• Add radii at joints that take impact loads.
• Keep part interchangeability in mind for spare part supply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which materials are used for Agricultural Machinery parts?

Heat-treated 4140 and low-carbon steels are the usual choices, with stainless steels where corrosion is a concern.

Can spare parts be cast in small quantities?

Often yes. Feasibility and minimum quantity depend on the part and tooling.

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.
