Durable, Versatile, and Tailored: Why Custom Stainless Steel Casting is the Idea

What is Custom Stainless Steel Casting？

Custom Stainless steel casting is a metal working process to produce custom stainless steel parts. As a mostly often used casting metal process, it works by pouring melton stainless steel into molds for solidification, thus to achieve a solid stainless steel component in a desired shape.

By using lost wax casting process, it can produce stainless steel castings with intricate structures and smooth finish which can save considerable post machining cost.

Process of Custom Stainless Steel Casting

Same as alloy steel casting and carbon steel casting, stainless steel casting process is a metal forming process of lost wax casting involving the forming of a wax pattern, which is then coated by refractory ceramic shell to form a shell mold. When the wax  inside the shell mold is melted out, leaving the ceramic shell as a mold. Molten stainless steel in fluid is then poured into the mold to form a casting component. After the metal solidifies and the mold is removed, Lida can offer near-net shape of stainless steel casting parts without secondary machining process while some investment castings may require a secondary machining process.

Advantages of Custom Stainless Steel Casting

• High resistant to corrosion. High strength, high quality surface finish, also have no parting lines, further enhancing part aesthetics.
• High dimensional accuracy &Complex near-net shape-- It is a near-net shape casting process with minimal finishing tolerances. After finishing, parts have an impressive dimensional tolerance of +/- 0.075 mm.
• High efficiency&Affordable. 
• Endlessly recyclable.
• High durable.
• Large Parts-This method is capable of dealing with different part sizes. It is suitable for parts as lightweight as 100g and as heavy as 300KGS. It produces huge turbine blades of the same quality as minute medical equipment.

Key Considerations for Selecting a Professional Stainless Steel Casting Provider

One of the first things to consider when selecting a custom stainless steel casting provider is their expertise and experience in the industry. Look for a company that has a proven track record of delivering high-quality castings. A provider with extensive experience in stainless steel casting will have the knowledge and skills necessary to produce precision parts that meet your exact specifications.

Additionally, consider the industries that the casting provider has worked with in the past. If they have experience in your specific industry, they will have a better understanding of the unique requirements and challenges that come with it. This industry-specific expertise can make a significant difference in the quality and performance of the final product.

What Types of Casting Metals are Used for Custom Stainless Steel Casting in Lida?

Stainless steel is one of the common casting metals for industrial and commercial castings because it offers superior mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, making it long-lasting in severe environments.

The most frequently used cast stainless steel grades Lida is capable of for stainless steel castings are: 304 stainless steel casting, 304L Stainless steel casting, 316 Stainless Steel Casting, 316L, 17-4Pph Investment Casting, 302, 303, 310, 321, 347, and 410. This casting type is the most common for over 70% of production. Grade 304 is the most generally specified casting grade, with different austenitic grades such as 316 and 317.
