Zetwerk For Manufacturing Expertise

INVESTMENT CASTING

Zetwerk’s expertise in investment casting brings complex designs to life by reducing component weight and eliminating the need for costly machining. Ultra-fine sections of parts such as through holes, slots and complicated profiles are produced through this process, with castings as narrow as 0.4 mm.

METHODS

Benchmark techniques of Gravity Fed and Vacuum casting are used to produce parts ranging from a few grams to 30 kgs in weight. For investment casting, Zetwerk works with carbon steel, low alloy steel, stainless steel grades, and various super alloys, along with non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum, brass, bronze and copper.

PATTERN TOOLING AND WAX PATTERN PROTOTYPING

A negative of the final metal part is created through a machined aluminum mold into which wax is injected to create a positive of the final metal part. Zetwerk also uses 3D printing to create complex wax patterns for rapid prototyping.

FINISHING TOUCHES

Zetwerk offers secondary operations for finishing machine investment cast components to impart tight dimensional tolerance, heat treatment to achieve mechanical propeservicerties and surface finishing processes to meet engineering specifications. Zetwerk also offers the produced parts in a sub-assembly along with hardware and other components necessary for assembly.

QUALITY CONTROL AND ASSEMBLY

Zetwerk offers rigorous casting quality inspection and product testing services to ensure compliance with engineering specifications. Some services include chemical composition testing, tensile strength testing, hardness testing, impact testing, dye-penetrant testing, magnetic particle inspection and radiography inspection.

QUALITY CERTIFICATIONS

Zetwerk is ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certified. Zetwerk’s investment casting plants are IATF 16949:2016, ISO 13485:2016, PED 2014/68/EU, AD 2000 W0 certified.
