Department, Chandigarh University, Mohali, India 3Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering Department [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Investment casting process is a type casting process of producing clear net shape, high- dimensional accuracy and intricate design. Consistent research effort has been made by various researchers from all over the world with an objective to explore the world of investment casting. This article highlights the advancements made and proposed at each step of investment casting and its applications in practical world . Investment casting is being used from years to manufacture parts such as weapons, jewellery item, idols and statues of god and goddess; this article reviews the present and future applications of the investment casting. The aim of this review article is to present state of art review of applications of investment casting since 3200 BC. This article is organized as follows: in section ‘Introduction’, introduction to investment casting and process is given ; in section ‘Application in Aerospace Industries’, background is given on the application of investment casting in aerospace and related industries; section ‘Biomedical applications of investment casting’ presents the medicine or biomedical applications of investment casting; section ‘Conclusion’ closes the article by offering conclusions. Keywords: investment casting, biomedical application and aerospace industry application. Introduction Investment casting is a manufacturing process that can be traced back over 5,000 years to ancient Egypt and China. It is utilized to cast a wide variety of items, including high- quality, high-performance industrial parts.
