Investment casting is a process for creating complex metal components by forming a ceramic mold or pattern to produce the desired metal parts. Fused minerals play a critical role in the construction of the ceramic shell during this process. This ceramic shell is composed of various fused materials, ensuring its ability to withstand extremely high temperatures throughout the heating and casting stages.
Once the ceramic shell is removed, the metal component is exposed and often requires polishing or final processing with an abrasive material to achieve the desired finish.
