At Kormax, we present ourselves as dedicated specialists in investment castings, producing high-precision metal components that meet demanding mechanical, dimensional, and surface quality requirements. We work with a broad range of alloys—including stainless steels, carbon and alloy steels, aluminum, bronze, and specialized materials—to create castings that deliver strength, consistency, and long-term reliability. By leveraging the accuracy of the lost-wax process and maintaining strict control over each production stage, we manufacture parts with intricate geometries, fine detail, and excellent repeatability for customers across diverse industries.

We approach every project with an engineering-driven mindset, collaborating closely with customers to refine part designs, evaluate alloy options, and determine gating and tooling strategies that optimize manufacturability and performance. Our capabilities encompass rapid prototyping, pattern production, ceramic shell building, controlled melting and pouring, heat treatment, machining, and finishing operations that prepare each casting for seamless integration into downstream processes. Through chemical analysis, mechanical testing, dimensional inspection, and microstructure evaluation, we verify that every component meets the highest standards for quality and structural integrity.

Investment Casting

Investment Casting

Investment casting is a metal working process that uses a ceramic shell built over a wax pattern to produce parts with extraordinarily uniform and smooth surfaces. The wax pattern is produced from an aluminum die.The final products of investment casting are without parting lines, mold half marks, or other deformities…

Lost Wax Casting

Lost Wax Casting

Lost wax casting is a casting process that uses a wax pattern to create a ceramic mold for creating a part or product design. It has been known over the years as lost wax or precision casting due to its accuracy in recreating parts with precise tolerances…

Types of casting processes

The casting process is an ancient art that goes back several thousand years to the beginning of written history. The archeological record has finds that document the use of the casting process over 6000 years ago around 3000 BC or BCE…

Sand Casting

Sand Casting

Sand casting is a manufacturing process in which liquid metal is poured into a sand mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape and then allowed to solidify. Casting is a manufacturing process in which…

Forging

Forged Part

Forging is a metal working process that manipulates, shapes, deforms, and compresses metal to achieve a desired form, configuration, or appearance outlined by a metal processing design or diagram. Depending on the type of metal and the…

Die Casting

Die Casting

Die casting is a high pressure metal casting process that forces molten metal into a mold. It produces dimensionally accurate precision metal parts with a high quality finish. Its ability to produce detailed parts makes it perfect for the mass production of products…
