Like other cast steel\u00a0alloys, stainless steel is a common material for casting production. When the properties of steel and corrosion resistance are required for products, Stainless steel casting is the best choice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
What is Stainless Steel Casting?\u00a0<\/strong>Stainless steel casting is one method of the\u00a0lost wax investment casting process.<\/a> It is through pouring molten stainless steel into molds for solidification to achieve a solid stainless steel component in the desired shape.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Contents<\/p> View more about\u00a0Stainless Steel Investment Casting Material Grades<\/strong>\u00a0and Applications<\/p>\n Stainless steel has unique physical properties. Such as extremely high resistance to heat, abrasion, and corrosion. So it can be served for a different range of industries, especially in some severe environments. Here are the main usages of stainless steel casting:<\/p>\n A large amount of stainless steel is also used in food production and storage. Almost all food processing equipment is made of stainless steel. The most common grades are 304 and 316. 304 is basically the main level, while 316 is used in the harsher environment. Stainless steel castings are widely used in food machinery applications due to their rust-preventing capabilities and the most flexible manufacturing processes for complex-shaped parts. Typical food machinery parts made with stainless steel casting processes are metal grinder parts, coffee machine parts, etc. An important reason for using stainless steel is not the corrosive nature of the food itself, but the use of stainless steel for faster and more efficient cleaning. The advantage is that it does not expose the food to any taste.<\/p>\n The most commonly used stainless steel may be used for tableware and Cutlery in the kitchen. For example, Grade 410 and 420 can be hardened and tempered, allowing the blade to use sharp edges to produce tools. Grade 304 (18\/8 stainless steel, 18% chromium 8% nickel), more ductile 18\/8 stainless steel is easier to a machine. So it is more suitable for objects that need many molding, polishing, and grinding processes for spoons and forks, and other tableware.<\/p>\n Stainless steel casting is used in marine applications which require parts that are strong with extremely high resistance to heat, abrasion, and corrosion. Our stainless steel alloys for recreational, commercial marine components. Stainless steel marine castings can be polished to a mirror finish for maximum corrosion and abrasion resistance. New marine grade stainless steel investment castings for marine application could be supplied electronically polished and machined from our company, saving our customers 40% on their current cost.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n Grades<\/strong><\/td>\n Features<\/strong><\/td>\n Applications<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n 304<\/td>\n Austenitic stainless steel with Ni content more than 8%, food-grade alloy. can be used to cast stainless steel components for both household and commercial applications. Widely used stainless steel casting material.
\n304 stainless steel castings can be used in environments where the air is less corrosive.<\/td>\nMedical, food industry, chemical industry, mechanical equipment, pipe industry, automotive industry, etc.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n 316<\/td>\n Also austenitic stainless steel with Ni content of more than 10%. For their higher Ni content, 316 stainless steel castings have better corrosion resistance than 304 stainless steel castings. Such stainless steel castings better suit the marine environment with relatively harsh air conditions or chemical materials that need to be contacted.<\/td>\n Fire fighting, auto parts, marine hardwares, chemical, pipeline, construction, decoration, food industry, etc.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n 304L \/ 316L<\/td>\n The mechanical properties are close to those of 304 and 316 materials. L represents lower carbon content, which makes the material more ductile, has good welding performance, and has more reliable corrosion resistance. The price is higher than that of materials of the same grade.<\/td>\n Food, chemical, medical, plumbing, etc.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n 410 & 416<\/td>\n Series 400 belongs to martensitic stainless steel, which is characterized by high strength, good processing performance, and high heat treatment hardness, and does not contain Ni, so the corrosion resistance is weak.<\/td>\n Auto parts, tools, knives, etc.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n 17-4 PH<\/td>\n 17-4 belongs to martensitic stainless steel with a Ni content of 3%-5% and good corrosion resistance. It has the highest strength in the stainless steel series and is usually used for products and components that are not prone to deformation.<\/td>\n Military, medical, mechanical components, machine tools, turbine blades, etc.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n 2205<\/td>\n Duplex stainless steel 2205 is composite stainless steel consisting of 22% chromium, 2.5% molybdenum, and 4.5% nickel-nitrogen. It has high strength, good impact toughness, and good overall and local resistance to stress corrosion.<\/td>\n Sporting, pump & valve industry, etc.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n Chemical Compositions of them<\/span><\/h3>\n
