Systematic Review on Investment Casting

Abstract

The Investment casting (IC) method is now used to make all precision components in the medical, hydropower, defence, car, and other sectors. IC has a wide range of applications and is well-known for its ability to make complex near-net form items with great dimensional precision and surface polish. Various scholars are making ongoing efforts to investigate the topic of investment casting. This publication offers a comprehensive survey of the studies in this vast topic. It emphasises improvements in the earliest stages of the investment casting process. It focuses on pattern creation improvements, mould composition, casting materials, and typical flaws, as well as preventative actions.
