17-4 Non-standard Castings Lost Wax Castings
Stainless steel castings are a general term for castings made of various stainless steel materials (also known as stainless steel precision castings). Stainless steel casting, or stainless steel investment casting, is a lost wax investment casting process in which molten stainless steel is poured into a mold and allowed to solidify to obtain a solid stainless steel component of the desired shape.

What is stainless steel casting?
Stainless steel castings are a general term for castings made of various stainless steel materials (also known as stainless steel precision castings). Stainless steel casting, or stainless steel investment casting, is a lost wax investment casting process in which molten stainless steel is poured into a mold and allowed to solidify to obtain a solid stainless steel component of the desired shape.
Advantages of stainless steel castings
• Excellent corrosion resistance
• Excellent surface finish
• High dimensional accuracy
• Extremely complex parts are castable
• Almost any grade can be cast
• No flash or parting lines

Material grade |
General purpose |
Application |
|
|
304 |
Food grade steel, housing, mechanism |
Medical, mining, petrochemical |
|
|
304 is widely accepted in the food industry as the standard for cleanliness and corrosion resistance. |
|||
|
304L/ 316L |
Like other 300 series steels, the "L" stands for low carbon, making each grade softer but more corrosion-resistant. |
Food and dairy, medical, petrochemical |
|
|
316 |
Housing, gear, plate |
Automotive, Petrochemical, Food and Dairy |
|
|
316 is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for many uses including marine environments. |
|||
|
410 & 416 |
Housing, Bushing, Handle, Bracket |
Automotive, Machine Tool, Food and Dairy |
|
|
400 series steels are very strong and very easy to machine. They will tend to break rather than bend under intense pressure. |
|||
|
17-4 |
Rod, pin, link, arm |
Military, medical, machine tools |
|
|
17-4 is the strongest of the stainless steel series, 17-4 Non-standard castings Lost wax castings can be used for parts that cannot be bent. |
