Product Overview
The bracket features an integrated rectangular frame with cross reinforcement ribs and mounting sections at both ends. Investment casting allows these structural features to be produced as a near-net-shape component, reducing the need for multiple welded or assembled parts.
Depending on the application, the casting design can be optimized for wall thickness, rib transitions, fillets, mounting bosses and machining allowance to balance strength, manufacturability and material usage.
Integrated cross reinforcement ribs
Mounting holes and end connection sections
One-piece cast structural frame
Machinable mounting and locating surfaces
Custom dimensions based on drawings
Suitable for low- to medium-volume custom production
Casting & Machining
Investment casting is suitable for structural brackets with integrated ribs, irregular geometry and multiple mounting features that may be difficult to manufacture economically by conventional fabrication alone.
The lost wax casting process enables the main geometry to be formed close to the final shape, while CNC machining can then be applied to features requiring tighter dimensional control.
Mounting Holes · Bores · Locating Surfaces · End Faces · Threads · Slots · Datum Features
Machining allowances and datum locations can be reviewed before tooling to help maintain consistency between the casting and finished component.
Our manufacturing process combines investment casting, post-casting treatment, CNC machining and dimensional inspection to produce finished steel hardware components according to customer specifications.

Material Options
Material selection depends on the required strength, corrosion resistance, wear performance and service environment. Zeren manufactures custom investment cast components in a range of ferrous alloys for industrial and structural applications.
Stainless Steel
Carbon Steel
Alloy Steel
Duplex Stainless Steel
Heat-Resistant Steel
Wear-Resistant Steel
Quality Control
Structural mounting components often depend on consistent hole positions, mating surfaces and overall dimensional accuracy. Inspection can therefore be carried out at both the casting and finished-machining stages according to drawing requirements.
Material Verification
Spectrometer testing for chemical composition.
Dimensional Inspection
CMM, gauges and dimensional measurement for critical features.
Surface Inspection
Visual inspection of casting surfaces, machined areas and finishing quality.
Hardness Testing
Available when specified by material or heat-treatment requirements.
Final Inspection
Critical dimensions and machining features are checked before shipment.
Applications
Reinforced investment cast brackets can be used in a variety of structural and hardware assemblies where mounting accuracy, rigidity and compact one-piece construction are required.
Structural Support Assemblies
Heavy-Duty Mounting Hardware
Equipment Frames and Supports
Industrial Brackets
Mechanical Connection Components
Custom Architectural Hardware
This product represents the type of reinforced steel bracket that can be manufactured through investment casting and CNC machining. Dimensions, rib configuration, mounting holes, wall thickness, material and surface treatment can all be customized according to your drawing or 3D model.
Our engineering team can review casting feasibility, machining requirements and critical dimensions before tooling begins to help identify potential manufacturing issues early in the project.
