What is Stainless Steel Investment Castings

Stainless steel investment casting is a dewaxing investment casting process in which molten stainless steel material is poured into a mold and allowed to solidify, resulting in a solid stainless steel casting in the desired shape. When we have requirements for the properties and corrosion resistance of steel. Stainless steel castings are a better choice.

Our Representative Stainless Steel Materials


304 Housings, bodies. SS304 is widely used in medical, plumbing, watering, mining and petrochemical industries as the standard for cleanliness as well as corrosion resistance.
316 The second most common austenite steel, also referred to as A4 stainless. SS316 is used primarily for its increased resistance to corrosion.
304L / 316L Lower carbon content than 316 stainless steel, which reduces the sensitization effect caused by the high temperatures involved in welding. Besides, it shows better resistance to stress-corrosion cracking.
410 & 416 Housings, bushings, handles, brackets. 400 series steels are high strength and very machinable. They will tend to break rather than bend under intense pressure. Ideal industries are automotive, food & dairy and various machine tools.
17-4 PH Most common precipitation-hardening martensitic stainless steel, which uses about 17% chromium and 4% nickel.

FAQ of Stainless Steel Investment Castings

 

Q1: What is the stainless steel investment casting process?

A: Stainless steel investment casting is a manufacturing process used to create complex metal parts in a wide range of shapes and sizes. It involves pouring molten stainless steel into a ceramic shell or mold, which is created by coating a wax pattern with a ceramic material.

Q2: What are the advantages of stainless steel castings?

A: Corrosion resistant, suitable for fasteners in harsh environments. Heat resistance, excellent performance at high temperatures.
Precision tolerances not possible with other manufacturing processes.
It has simple structure, stable performance and durability.
 

Q3: Why is investment casting preferred for stainless steel materials?

A: Stainless steel is used because of its unique physical properties. It has excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance and heat resistance. Therefore, it can be used in a variety of industries, especially those that require materials that can withstand harsh environments

Q4: What factors affect the cost of stainless steel investment casting?

A: Price of raw materials, complexity of part design, weight and dimensions of castings, quantity of order. The price of stainless steel raw materials is the main factor affecting casting costs.

Q5: How is our stainless steel investment casting performed?

1. Wax Model Making & Assembly

Once the mold is ready, inject wax material into the mold cavity, then take out the wax model from the mold after cooling. Repair some appearance defects of wax models, such as slot, wax injection nozzle, flow pattern, etc. After inspection wax models, weld them to the casting system one by one to form a assembly, which looks like a tree.

2. Shell Building

Shell making process is a whole silica sol process, namely dip the assembly into good colloidal silica coating, sprinkle with fire-resistant sand, dry and harden shell under certain temperature,thus to form dense refractory coating surface outside the surface of wax models, and then repeat the step 5-6, finally form a certain strength and refractoriness of silica sol shell.

3. Dewaxing

Dewaxing is a process in which the wax inside the shell is melted by high temperature steam and then drained out, resulting in a cavity that can be poured into the mold.

4. Pouring

Melt stainless steel ingots into liquid status under a certain high temperature, then pour the liquid into the shell and cool under room temperature. After solidification, knock out the blacks and clean sand.

5. Cutting,Grinding & Surface Finishing

Cut the stainless steel casting blanks from assembly one by one, remove the sprue gate by grinding machine and smooth the surface by various surface finishes, such as shot blasting, sand blasting, electropolishing, mirror polishing, etc.

6. Inspection

After finishing production, inspection is also an indispensable process before delivery. The inspection of stainless steel castings includes dimensional inspection, defects inspection and material inspection. Only qualified products can be shipped to customers.

Watch our stainless steel foundry video to learn how stainless steel castings are made. Videos are also available on youtube.com.

Q6: When to Use Stainless Steel Investment Casting?

You’ll get the most significant advantage from using investment castings if your part:

  • has a complicated shape that would be difficult or impossible to produce with other casting methods
  • requires exceptional surface qualities
  • needs tight tolerances
  • prefers minimal surface finishing or machining after casting.

Q7: Why Choose Besser's Stainless Steel Investment Casting Services

  • Affordable Tooling: Tooling is the basic step to starting the stainless steel casting process. Although the machining accuracy and material of tooling play an important role in the final casting quality, the tooling of stainless steel is relatively affordable compared with other forming processes.
  • Flexible design: Investment casting can cast out stainless steel products in different sizes and weights, so the design of cast stainless steel parts is very flexible. Stainless steel casting allows parts with a minimum 3mm thickness and weights ranging from 0.05kgs-80kgs. Besides, stainless steel castings with complex structures are also castable.
  • Close Tolerance: The dimensional accuracy of stainless steel investment casting can meet ISO 8062 CT5-CT6 level. Such close tolerance can ensure stainless steel castings with less or no machining.
  • Good Surface: Even after shot blasting, the surface of stainless steel castings is very smooth and looks bright. And people will never worry about stainless steel castings will get rust with time flys.
  • High Production Efficiency: Stainless steel casting is a fast and repeatable process, so the production efficiency is very high, and no matter it is a large or small volume, it can all meet.
