Investment Casting for the Energy Sector

In energy equipment, parts work for long periods under temperature, pressure and corrosion. Material selection and casting quality therefore have to be considered together.

Why Investment Casting for Energy Sector Parts?

Investment casting produces complex geometries in valve, pump and connecting parts as one piece. Material certification and testing requirements are evaluated from the drawing at the quotation stage.

Typical Parts

Valve and pump components, connecting parts, brackets, clamps and holders, equipment housings.

Material Selection

Stainless steels are preferred for corrosion and temperature, alloy steels for strength and bronze for conductivity and wear.

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 Energy Sector Parts

• State the operating temperature and medium so the alloy can be chosen correctly.
• Define the surfaces that seal or carry load before tooling is made.
• Plan test and certificate needs at the quotation stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which materials are used for Energy Sector parts?

316 and 304 stainless steels suit corrosive environments, and heat-treated 4140 suits parts under high load.

Can you cast spare parts for older equipment?

Yes, if a drawing or sample part is available. The feasibility is assessed for each part.

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.
