Linear Tolerance
The following table serves as guideline for Linear Tolerance in Casting and Machined Casting| Dimensions (mm) | Tolerance in Cast Component (mm) | Tolerance in Machined Cast (mm) |
|---|---|---|
| Up To 25 | ± 0.74 | ± 0.1 |
| Up To 50 | ± 1.00 | ± 0.15 |
| Up To 75 | ± 1.10 | ± 0.15 |
| Up To 100 | ± 1.20 | ± 0.15 |
| Up To 150 | ± 1.40 | ± 0.2 |
| Up To 200 | ± 1.60 | ± 0.2 |
| Up To 250 | ± 1.80 | ± 0.2 |
| Up To 250 | ± 1.00% | ± 0.3 |
Flatness
Flatness deviation is a function of shrinkage occurred during solidification of wax and metal. It is directly proportional to the thickness of cross-section. Although each casting will vary individually, an approximate tolerance guide would be 0.2 mm T.I.R. (Total Indicator Reading), for each 10 mm thick section. This variation will be apparent in surfaces of length 20 mm or more.Straightness
Straightness deviation is a function of stresses developed during solidification of wax and metal. The mechanical properties of an alloy greatly affect the ability to meet the print tolerances. Generally, a constant section will be axial bow of approximately 0.2 mm per linear 20 mm under normal tolerance.Roundness & Concentricity
Out-of-round is the radial difference between a true circle and the surface diameter. The following table serves as a guideline for out-of-round Tolerance in Casting and Machined Casting:| Hole Diameter (mm) | Tolerance in Cast Component (mm) | Tolerance in Machined Cast (mm) |
|---|---|---|
| Up To 10 | ± 0.1 | ± 0.05 |
| Up To 25 | ± 0.2 | ± 0.1 |
| Up To 50 | ± 0.3 | ± 0.15 |
Angularity
Angular tolerance on investment castings should not be less than + 1°.Parallelism and Perpendicularity
Parallelism and Perpendicularity are both relative planar measure with respect to a datum plane. They are affected by casting configuration and straightness. Tolerances less than 0.2 mm T.I.R. (Total Indicator Reading), may require secondary machiningSurface Finish
| Manufacturing Process | Surface Finish Values (Ra) |
|---|---|
| Casting | 3.2 to 6.0 |
