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.
