-
Q Can you accept drawings electronically?
-
Q What is welding?
A Welding is one type of metal joinery, in its basic form it involves superheating two metals at the point of contact in order for them to bond.
-
Q Which industries benefit from CNC machining?
A Many industries benefit from CNC machining, though they are far more necessary in some fields than others. Different CNC machines are capable of different levels of detail during production.
-
Q Do you offer any design services for a machined part? If not, what does a company need to present upfront?
A We do have design capabilities but the customer must approve and assume responsibility for the final design. Please submit a fully defined product including all necessary prints, CAD models, specifications, etc. along with the estimated annual usage.
-
Q What types of CNC machining are there?
A There are several different types of CNC machining. These include CNC turning, CNC milling, and CNC lathes.
-
Q What is the difference between sand casting and investment casting?
A Sand and investment casting have similar processes, but sand casting cannot always make small, intricate parts. Sand casting also often utilizes heavier weight limits, sometimes greater than a ton.
-
Q What materials are best for investment casting?
A Most metals that can be melted and poured can be used for investment casting. The most common metals are stainless steel, nickel-based steel, cobalt-based alloys, brass, bronze, and copper.
-
Q Do you have the capabilities for large and/or small production?
A We have the flexibility to handle both large and small production runs. Fuchun Precision Casting prides itself in meeting your specific requirements and deadlines. -
Q Which software for design in your company ?
A Mainly AutoCAD and Pro/E.
Sometimes we wish to get the drawings of IGS/STEP types!
-
Q Are investment castings expensive?
A While investment castings can be slightly more expensive than sand cast, forged, or some machined parts, they make up for higher cost through the reduction of machining achieved through the near net shape tight tolerances that can be held as cast.
-
Q What kinds of parts are suited for investment castings?
A Almost any configuration or design can be produced as an investment casting. Investment castings offer more design flexibility over any other manufacturing process.
-
Q Which surface finishes can you provide?
A Castings can be supplied in the natural state or with a variety of surface treatments such as anodising, plating, painting or lacquering.
-
Q Are you prepared to operate a supply system?
A Where a customer has a regular repeating requirement, we are happy to operate Kanban systems to ensure continuity of supply.
-
Q What are the size limits of investment cast components?
A Our products range from 100 grams to 600 kilograms in weight.
-
Q How long does it take for a quote?
A 24 to 48 hours.
-
Q What are the benefits of an investment casting?
A The investment casting process offers lower costs, greater design freedom and the largest selection of alloys to work with.
-
Q Can you supply test certificates relating to the castings?
A Letters of conformity, certificates of analysis and test certificates can be issued relating to all castings if requested in the order.
-
Q Have you a recognized Quality Assurance Certificate?
A We are certified to ISO 9001:2008 QA System. View our certification here.
-
Q Will you undertake sample castings?
A We can offer a full sample service to prove your design before going into batch production.
