Hot-selling Brass Investment Casting - B-100 Camlock of Stainless Steel 316 – RMC Foundry

Custom or standard stainless steel 316 camlock by investment casting process and CNC machining.

Stainless steel has a minimum chromium content of 10.5%, making it more resistant to corrosive liquid environments and to oxidation. However, this is not absolute. 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. AISI 316 is an austenitic stainless steel which is widely used for investment castings.

Austenitic stainless steel should be solid-solution treated before use, so as to maximize the solid solution of various precipitates such as carbides in the steel into the austenite matrix, while also homogenizing the structure and eliminating stress, so as to ensure excellent Corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. The correct solution treatment system is water cooling after heating at 1050～1150℃ (the thin parts can also be air cooled). The solution treatment temperature depends on the degree of alloying of the steel: Molybdenum-free or low-molybdenum steel grades should be lower (≤1100℃), and higher alloyed grades such as 00Cr20Ni18Mo-6CuN, 00Cr25Ni22Mo2N, etc. should be higher (1080～1150) ℃).
