Project Background
This was a repeat-order project for an industrial machinery customer in Thailand. We developed two teeth bar specifications with nominal diameters of 12 mm and 14 mm according to the customer’s drawings and application requirements.
Precision Casting Teeth Bar for Industrial Machinery
This project involves the manufacturing of a custom teeth bar produced through the precision investment casting process. Teeth bars, also known as gear racks, are commonly used in mechanical transmission systems to convert rotational motion into linear motion.
The precision casting process allows the production of complex shapes with good dimensional accuracy, making it suitable for mechanical components such as gear racks and transmission parts.
These cast teeth bars are manufactured according to client drawings and specifications to ensure reliable mechanical performance in industrial machinery applications.
Yutung Industrial provides customized investment casting solutions for mechanical components including gear racks, transmission parts, and other precision metal components.

Material
The teeth bars were manufactured from SCH13 stainless cast steel according to the customer’s confirmed material specification.
The material grade, chemical composition, casting requirements, and related quality documentation were controlled according to the approved drawing and order requirements.
Manufacturing Process
The teeth bars were manufactured through silica sol precision investment casting. The production process included tooling development, wax pattern preparation, ceramic shell building, metal pouring, casting cleaning, surface finishing, and dimensional inspection.
The tooth profile, bar diameter, overall shape, and other specified dimensions were controlled according to the customer’s approved drawings.
For cast components requiring secondary machining, tooth-profile finishing, drilling, dimensional correction, surface finishing, and detailed inspection, explore our custom precision metal parts manufacturing capabilities.

Application and Drawing Review
The cast teeth bars were supplied for an industrial machinery project in Thailand. The two specifications were produced according to the customer’s drawings, dimensional requirements, material specification, and installation conditions.
Understanding the final application helps us review the tooth profile, load direction, mating components, dimensional tolerances, material requirements, and any necessary secondary machining before production.

Why Silica Sol Investment Casting?
Silica sol investment casting is suitable for stainless steel components with relatively complex profiles, detailed surface features, and controlled dimensional requirements.
For this project, the process allowed the teeth profile and bar geometry to be formed close to the required shape while supporting stable repeat production for the 12 mm and 14 mm specifications.
