Although it is highly precise, investment casting is usually more expensive than other comparable casting techniques, and is typically only cost-efficient when sand or plaster castings cannot be used.

What is sand casting used to make?

Sand casting is one of the few available processes for metals with high melting temperatures such as steels, nickel, and titanium. Because of its flexibility, heat resistance, and relatively low cost, sand casting is the most widely used casting process. Castings are produced by pouring liquid metal into a mold cavity.

What type of plaster is used for casting?

Plaster mold casting is a metalworking casting process similar to sand casting except the molding material is plaster of Paris instead of sand. Like sand casting, plaster mold casting is an expendable mold process, however it can only be used with non-ferrous materials.
