Lida precision casting foundry is a trusted and reliable name in the construction and architectural hardware industry for manufacturing superior investment castings. Our investment casting process allows us to produce complex, intricate shapes with delicate details and accuracy, making our castings ideal for architectural and construction hardware applications where precision is critical. Lida lost wax casting foundry acknowledges the significance of precision and accuracy in the production of construction and architectural hardware castings. This is why we have a team of experienced engineers and technicians who collaborate closely to design and create castings that fulfill even the most rigorous requirements requested by our clients. With the use of advanced software and equipment, we ensure that each piece of casting sticks to the highest standards of quality and precision.

Our investment castings are used in a variety of applications, including:

Door and Window Hardware: such as door handles, nobs

Locks Accessories

Hinges and other building components

Lida is the top lost wax casting supplier in China with rich experience, we can pour various types of casting materials including stainless steel casting, carbon steel casting and high alloy casting to serve wide range of industries including building hardware. Please contact us at: info@lidalostwaxcasting.com to consult our experts to give you a professional answer to your specific questions for your project.

Versatile Types of Casting Options:

Stainless steel, carbon steel, low alloy steel, medium alloy steel, high manganese steel, nickel base alloy, cobalt base alloy, non-ferrous alloy, etc. Please see the following attachment for details.

Capable of Manufacturing Both Small Parts and Large Parts in Size

Our metal parts can be achieved single weight 0.001-300KG,  minimum size at 5mm*3mm*1.5mm, maximum size 1000mm*1000mm*500mm with weight no more than 300kg.

High Dimensional Accuracy : 

After decades of experience in investment casting manufacturing and optimization of each investment casting process, Lida Green Energy is capable of producing high-quality castings with exceptional surface finish and dimensional geometries. We pay close attention to every aspect of the casting process, from the initial engineering design stage to the final delivery, to ensure that each casting part meets our customers' exact requirements and avoid additional rework.

We adhere to GB/T6414 or ISO 8062 investment casting tolerance, please see the invesment casting tolerances as below:

High Surface Quality:  Surface Roughness before machining: ≤Ra6.3, ≤Ra3.2 after special processing.

Rapid Manufacturing Capacity: By developing lost wax casting 3D printing technology of shell mold, we can rapid prototype samples within 7 days. This technology eliminates the need for pattern tooling production, speed up casting process design and validation, and reduce overall development time when a hard tool is desired for scalable mass production, and thus provides an advantage for market fast promotion and process trial production.

Vacuum Casting Capacity: With vacuum melting furnace, we can produce nickel based and cobalt based alloy casting parts, product weight range: 0.001-25Kg. Part surface made by vacuum casting is more smooth, no air vent and oxidization, which can meet customer's requirements with higher standards Product surface finish is smooth, no air vent and oxidization, which can meet customer's requirements with higher standards, such as aeropace and petrochemical industries.

Lida is good at manufacturing investment casting parts in complex structures: With the aid of the advanced casting simulation software to facilitate product process design, we can use the melt core, ceramic core, salt core, C-1 sand and other special processes to achieve complex structures to meet customer's higher requirements for challenging projects.
