What are the Advantages of Stainless Steel Investment Castings?

Stainless steel's biggest advantage is its excellent corrosion resistance. Unlike other materials, stainless steel investment castings have a built-in chromium oxide layer that provides exceptional anti-corrosive properties. These corrosion-resistant properties make stainless steel castings ideal for military, medical, and industrial applications.

Commonly Cast Stainless Steel Alloys:

Alloy	Common Usage	Applications
304	Food grade steel, housings, bodies 304 is widely accepted in the food industry as the standard for cleanliness as well as corrosion resistance.	Medical Mining Petrochemical
304L / 316L	Similar to other 300 series steel, the "L" stands for low carbon, making it softer but more corrosion resistant for each grade of material.	Food & Dairy Medical Petrochemical
316	Housings, gears, plates 316 is known for its superior corrosion resistance, making it ideal for many uses including marine environments.	Automotive Petrochemical Food & Dairy
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.	Automotive Machine Tool Food & Dairy
17-4	Rods, pins, links, arms 17-4 is the strongest of the stainless steel family and is used on parts that cannot bend.	Military Medical Machine Tool
