Aluminum Base Castings
Shelmet investment aluminum base castings create near-net shape parts but also combine separate parts into a single poured piece seamlessly. A benefit of Investment casting is that it produces finely detailed parts with intricate designs. However, the precision cast aluminum fills narrow sections and edges making it an excellent use of the lost wax method. Shelmet aluminum investment castings have a variety of finish options that require little to no additional processing with less machining. You save money with the optimum casting for your project and customers.

Aluminum Base Castings
are light weight and often used in aerospace and automotive wheel covers and aluminum engine blocks. Aluminum is corrosion resistant and most often alloyed with silicon.
For more than 60 years Shelmet Precision Casting Co has poured aluminum castings using the precision investment lost wax manufacturing method.
Pure aluminum is too soft for most casting parts, so it is most often alloyed with silicon. Other common alloying elements are magnesium, copper, zinc, tin and iron. Investment casting with aluminum creates error free surface finishes. Secondary processes of plating or painting available from Shelmet, also, adds additional corrosion and chemical resistance to surfaces.
