Common Stainless Steel Casting Applications

2022-09-13


Stainless Steel Casting for Automotive Industry

Automotive is one of the common applications for stainless steel casting services. Due to the complex shapes and sizes required for different parts of the vehicle, stainless steel investment casting is almost always necessary. Due to the precision of the process, virtually no further processing is required. This alone saves a lot of time and money in the manufacture of auto parts. Stainless steel castings offer corrosion resistance, strength, flexibility and a smooth surface finish unmatched by other materials. Today, stainless steel cast auto parts are widely used in Japan, the United States, Germany and other countries.

Common automotive castings are:

Exhaust system (Exhaust Manifold)

Transmission Components

Vehicle Interior Components

Air-Conditioning Systems

Engine Parts

Brake Systems and Hardware

Power Steering Systems

other

Stainless Steel Casting for Medical Industry

For many years, stainless steel has been considered the only material suitable for making medical devices. Despite the rapid pace of material innovation in the medical industry, there is no doubt that stainless steel is still often the first choice for most medical device manufacturers due to its low and high temperature resistance, high strength and biocompatibility. With investment casting, you can design the necessary complex geometries in the casting to improve part performance and reliability.

Common medical stainless steel castings are:

Operating tables

Operating instruments

X-ray machines

MRI machines

Stretchers

Wheelchairs

Ultrasound machines

Apheresis equipment

Whole blood oximeters

Hemodynamic monitoring equipment

Stainless Steel Casting for Architecture

The construction industry was the first field of application for stainless steel castings. Stainless steel castings are now commonly used in modern construction due to their strength, flexibility and corrosion resistance. It is used for exterior cladding of large high impact buildings and can also be seen internally in the form of handrails, countertops, backsplashes, etc.

Common architectural stainless steel castings are:

Architectural Cladding

Handrails

Drainage and Water Systems

Wall Support Products

Roofing

Structure

Fixings

Pump & Valve Industry

In the manufacture of pumps and valves, the stainless steel investment casting process plays an integral role because it is easy to produce pump and valve parts with very complex shapes. Stainless steel castings are ideal for manufacturers of valves or pumps due to their excellent corrosion resistance properties.

Common pump and valve component castings are:

Impellers

Covers

Cap Regulators & End Caps

3 Way and 4 Way Bodies

Spool Valves

Butterfly Valves

Solenoid Control Valves

Coil Housings

Bonnets

Air Flow Control Inlet Valves

Stainless Steel Casting for Food Machinery

Stainless steel castings are durable, chemical-resistant, heat-resistant and easy to clean, making them ideal for use in the food machinery industry.
