Losier specializes in Stainless Steel Lost Wax Casting, and we are also a manufacturer and supplier of precision castings in aluminum, brass, or bronze. As a manufacturer and factory in China. Stainless Steel Lost Wax Casting is a high-precision casting solution ideal for producing complex and thin-walled components with excellent dimensional accuracy (CT5–CT7). It offers superior surface finish, reducing the need for secondary machining, and ensures high material utilization for cost efficiency. Using materials such as SS304, SS316, and SS316L, it provides outstanding corrosion resistance, strength, and durability. This process supports one-step molding of intricate geometries, ensures stable quality for mass production, and is widely applied in automotive, machinery, valves, and energy industries.
Stainless Steel Lost Wax Casting, also known as investment casting, is a process where a wax pattern is coated with ceramic material to form a mold. After removing the wax, molten stainless steel is poured into the cavity to create precise and complex components that are difficult to achieve through traditional machining.

After the initial forming process, Stainless Steel Lost Wax Casting parts typically undergo several post-processing steps to enhance dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and mechanical performance, ensuring they meet specific application requirements.
The wax patterns for stainless steel investment casting are produced based on CAD drawings or customer samples to ensure dimensional accuracy.
Multiple wax patterns are assembled into a tree structure to improve production efficiency.
The wax assembly is dipped into ceramic slurry and coated repeatedly to form a strong shell.
The wax is melted and removed, leaving a hollow ceramic mold.
The mold is preheated, and molten stainless steel is poured into the cavity.
After cooling, the ceramic shell is broken away to reveal the casting.
Final processes include cutting, grinding, CNC machining, heat treatment, and surface treatment to meet custom requirements.
Stainless Steel Lost Wax Casting offers higher precision, better surface finish, and the ability to produce complex geometries compared to sand casting or other conventional methods.
The process provides a smooth and clean surface, significantly reducing or eliminating the need for additional machining.
Yes, especially for medium to large production runs, as it minimizes material waste and reduces secondary processing costs.
