General Rules

1. Use rounded corners and fillets for improved casting quality and reduced rejection. lind holes and unnecessary strict tolerances should be avoided.

2. Generous internal and external radius, as well as uniform sections ensure improved castability

3. Dimensioning of slots

4. Dimensioning of holes

Geometrical Tolerances

It is inevitable that certain distortion are inherant in casting. To meet dimensional requirements the castings can be straightened or sized to the following general tolerance:


Angle Tolerance Normally this should be ± 1 degree and should not be closer than 1/2 degree.

Machining Allowances Allow 0.80-2.0 mm for machining. For larger workpiece add 3-4 mm.

1. Tolerance standard for investment casting is in accordance with VDG-merkblatt P-690 D2.

2.The tolerances above are the recommended minimum for functional details. For non-functional dimension, wider tolerances should be considered which will result in more economic designs.

3.Experience indicates that wider tolerances must be allowed for distances between centres of pins and holes.

4. For dimension in excess of stated range or for special tolerance requirements please contact foundry.

5. D2 is Tycon’s general accepted Dimension Tolerance.
