What is water glass casting?

Water glass castings are also known as sodium silicate castings. Its casting process is very similar to the melt casting (i. e., lost wax melt casting). It is a technique of using water glass as a binder for shell pouring.
Compared with sand casting, the process has a much better surface finish and size accuracy.
More complex shapes can also be made of.
It is particularly suitable for larger castings and is cheaper to produce. Raw materials are mainly steel and iron.Water glass casting technology is obtained from Russia. It is now one of the most common investment casting processes in China. About 75% of foundries focus their operations on water glass casting. The rest are silica sol casting plants.

You can find our contact info for further communication in “Contact US” column.
The 2&3D drawing format can be PDF, STEP, DWG, DXF and soon, can be sent via email. Wechat, WhatsApp, link.
After clear the demand of customer, we can send you the quotation with PDF format for documentation.

For requirements for confidentiality of drawings, we can signed the NDA before you send drawing.
The feasibility study of drawing is most key point to ensure the part can be fully meet drawing specifications, which is include material, dimension, surface treatment, and testing request.
Product Advantages
The design flexibility enables the casting of ‘Near Net Shape’ items, eliminating the need for intricate finishing procedures. This results in significant cost reductions in processing and materials. The precise casting process simplifies the shaping of the delicate thin-walled wings. SJ-Machinery engineers have devised a robust anchoring solution suitable for large-scale mass production. Crafted from RVS304 for essential rust and high heat resistance, minimal post-processing is conducted by SJ-Machinery, with components delivered ready for integration.
