High reputation Nodular Iron Shell Casting - Lost Wax Casting Stainless Steel Product – RMC Foundry

Stainless steel has a minimum chromium content of 10.5%, making it more resistant to corrosive liquid environments and to oxidation. The stainless steel casting has highly corrosion resistant and wear resistant, provides excellent machinability, and is well-known for its aesthetic appearance. Stainless steel investment castings are “corrosion-resistant” when used in liquid environments and vapors below 1200°F (650°C) and “heat-resistant” when used above this temperature.

The base alloy elements of any nickel-base or stainless steel investment casting are chromium, nickel, and molybdenum (or “moly”). These three components will determine the casting’s grain structure and mechanical properties and will be instrumental in the casting’s ability to combat heat, wear, and corrosion.

Our investment foundry can manufacture custom stainless steel investment castings that match your exact design specifications. For parts ranging from tens of grams to tens of kilograms or more, we provide tight tolerances and consistent part to part repeatability.
