Advantages of Stainless Steel Castings
Stainless steel investment castings are used across a wide range of industry sectors for the following reasons:
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Chromium is used as an alloying element in stainless steel which helps improve its anti-corrosive properties. Unlike carbon and alloy steel, stainless steel castings require little or no additional surface finishing. This one reason why stainless steel investment cast parts are used in industrial components such as valves, pumps, and other parts where corrosion resistance is critical.
- Exceptional Visual Quality: Grade A visual appearance is possible for investment cast parts that require high visual quality.
- Surface Finishes: 120 RMS or better is easily achieved
- Close Tolerances: ±.005 inch per inch tolerance levels can be achieved
- Near Net Shape Parts: Avoid long run time machine parts using near net investment cast parts.
