Investment Casting Tolerance

Investment casting ( ‘ lost wax ' ) tolerances are specified by the international standard: VDG P690. As a general rule normal linear tolerance on an investment casting can be + 0,75% of the nominal dimension, with a minimum of + 0,10 mm for dimensions lower than 15 mm in order to achieve closer tolerances, a machining allowance is required, but never forget that an investment casting always permits to reach very complex geometries.

As a good rule severe tolerances are to be avoided if not necessary to allow the higher production yelds and lower piece costs.

Therefore, functional or closer dimensions must be pointed out in the drawings and dealed with the technical department. The tolerances in the tables below can be used as an indication, depending on the steel alloy used and the product geometry.
