Why Investment Casting Is Essential for Modern Power Generation

Investment casting offers the dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and material integrity required to sustain extreme loading, temperature fluctuations, and corrosive environments. Power plants — whether thermal, nuclear, hydro, or renewable — depend on castings that perform consistently for years without failure.

Here’s why investment casting is preferred in power generation:

Uni Deritend’s advanced foundry processes ensure every component is engineered for the toughest operational conditions.

Key Power Generation Components Manufactured Through Investment Casting

The industry relies heavily on intricate, high-precision components that must survive extreme thermal and mechanical loads. Uni Deritend supplies a wide range of castings essential to power generation cycles.

Turbine Blades and Vanes

Turbine blades operate in the harshest part of a power plant—experiencing temperatures above 1000°C, intense pressure, and cyclic fatigue.

Uni Deritend excels in turbine blade casting, offering:

Our metallurgical control ensures every turbine blade performs reliably in both steam and gas turbine environments.

Energy Sector Valve Components

Power plants use thousands of valves to regulate flow, pressure, and safety. Casting these components requires remarkable precision.

Uni Deritend manufactures:

These components demand corrosion resistance, heat stability, and dimensional accuracy—all strengths of our investment casting processes.

Pump Impellers and Casings

Pumps in power plants handle water, condensate, steam, boiler feedwater, and fuels. Failure of pump components can lead to expensive downtime.

Uni Deritend provides:

Each component is optimized for hydraulic efficiency and long-term durability.

Boiler and Pressure System Components

These include:

Superalloys and heat-resistant steels maintain integrity under thermal shock, creep, and constant cycling—conditions where inferior castings would deform.
