When it comes to casting a metal part for medical applications, only a few metals could commonly be used, which include stainless steel, titanium, tantalum, platinum and palladium. Compared to stainless steel, these other materials are rare precious metals, and significantly more expensive. That makes stainless steel casting the most cost effective alternative for medical […]
Today, stainless steel casting is becoming a very popular manufacturing process of stainless steel products due to the many advantages that it offers. One of the key benefits is the ability to produce near net parts from strong and wear resistant materials allowing the elimination expensive and time-consuming post processes. Properly designing a part for […]
2205 is the most widely used duplex stainless steel casting grade, which combines many of the beneficial properties of both ferritic and austenitic steel. Its high chromium and molybdenum content gives the stainless steel castings excellent corrosion resistance. The microstructure provides resistance to stress corrosion cracking and ensures high strength. But, this type of casting […]
What is Valve Handwheel? Handwheels are most common valve actuator. Handwheels are used to actuate control valve manually where automatic controlling is out of option and also in many cases, handwheels are used to override the control system and to operate the valve manually. There are several types of handwheels, including: handwheels fixed to the […]
Investment casting is a proven process that has been used by stainless steel casting manufacturers for a long histoty. The numerous benefits and advantages of investment casting for stainless steels that offers over other processes make it ideal for many industries and applications. In this method, stainless steel parts are investment cast from molten metal. […]
Investment casting is a casting method that can be used to cast small to medium stainless steel components with precise details as well as large components from different metals. The advantages of investment casting process for stainless steel products are little material loss, low energy consumption and minimal need for finishing steps. Investment casting method […]
The process of stainless steel casting: According to the drawing of the designed stainless steel part, the mold is first prepared whose cavity is the same as that of the desired part. Next, the pattern, which is actually a copy of the cast stainless steel product, is made of wax and a wax gating system […]
Almost everyone has heard of stainless steel and has stainless steel parts used for industrial application or throughout their daily life, but few people know how these stainless steel parts with different shapes are formed and the advantages of choosing it over other types of materials. There are many unique benefits associated with using stainless […]
Stainless steel offer corrosion resistance, and investment casting of stainless steel can creat stainless steel parts with complex shapes while good surface finish and size accuracy. There are many types of stainless steel casting grades that can be used in investment casting process, such as 304(L), 316(L), 17-4 ph, 2205, etc. Among them, 304 and […]
Stainless steel casting in CFS Foundry is a lost wax investment casting process to creat precision stainless steel parts. It is a manufacturing process that utilizes wax patterns created from aluminum mold. Next a flask is placed around the wax tree and a dense plaster slurry is poured into the flask, creating a solid mold. […]
