- High Unit Prices: Imported castings often carry a 15‑25 % premium due to limited suppliers.
- Inconsistent Quality: 30 % of buyers report surface defects or dimensional variance > 0.2 mm.
- Long Lead Times: Typical delivery exceeds 45 days, delaying production schedules.
- Limited Customization: OEM/ODM options are scarce, forcing costly redesigns.
- Regulatory Uncertainty: Difficulty confirming CE, RoHS, or ISO‑9001 compliance for overseas casts.
These pain points add up to **up to 37 % higher total cost of ownership** for your machining lines.

Frequently Asked Questions about Aluminium Investment Casting
What is the typical lead time for a 10,000‑piece order?
Standard aluminium investment casting (lost‑wax) takes 7‑10 days for production plus 3‑5 days air freight to US ports. Total door‑to‑door time is usually 14‑18 days.
Can you customize alloy composition for specific strength or corrosion requirements?
Yes. Our metallurgical team can formulate any aluminium‑based alloy within ASTM standards, including heat‑treatable series (7075, 2024, 6061) and special additives for aerospace or marine environments.
What payment terms do you offer for first‑time US customers?
We accept L/C at sight, T/T 30 % upfront + 70 % before shipment, or PayPal for samples. A 5 % discount applies to bulk orders over 50,000 pcs.
Do you provide inspection certificates and export documentation?
All shipments include ISO‑9001 inspection reports, CE/ROHS certificates, and the required commercial invoice, packing list, and Certificate of Origin.
How do you handle after‑sales service and warranty?
We offer a 12‑month warranty against dimensional deviation and material defects. Our US service desk (email: us-support@ydcastings.com) provides technical assistance and replacement within 48 hours.
