Max cutting velocity in shaper. a. End of cutting b. Mid of cutting. c. Start of cutting

Investment casting is used for

  • Shapes that are made by difficulty using complex pattern in sand casting
  • Mass production
  • There is nothing like investment casting
  • Shapes which are very complex and intricate and cant be cast by any other method
