What is Stainless Steel Investment Casting?

 
Stainless steel is one of the most common metals used for investment casting. They are known for their excellent rust resistance and have a wide variety of critical industries such as food, marine, safety and automotive industries, oil & gas, and petrochemical. 
 
On a chemical level, stainless steel investment castings contain high levels of chromium which displays corrosion-resistant qualities. For example, SS304 contains up to 21% chromium. Other metal components are best poured with SS316 due to its molybdenum content. Molybdenum is useful in stainless steel alloys for its stability under harsh conditions with high thermal conductivity and a melting point of 4,753°F/2,620°C.
 
Our steel investment casting factory can make parts with stainless steel alloys including 300 series, 400 series, precipitating hardness, and others upon your request. The most common alloys we pour are 304, 316, and 17-4 PH stainless steel.

What are the Advantages of Stainless Steel Investment Castings?

Investment casting is famous for producing high-precision parts with good surface finish. Stainless steel’s biggest advantage is its excellent corrosion resistance. Unlike other materials, stainless steel castings have a built-in chromium oxide layer that provides exceptional anti-corrosive properties. These corrosion-resistant properties make stainless steel castings ideal for pump, valve, petrochemical, marine, and other industrial applications. It is a good choice for applications where precision and aesthetics are essential, such as in the medical, aerospace, and automotive industries. Additional stainless steel benefits include:
 
  • Corrosion resistance
  • Impact resistance & strength
  • Enhanced aesthetic value
  • Cost-effective
  • Ultra-hygienic
  • Heat resistant
  • Precision tolerances
