Stainless steel investment casting process

Stainless steel is a mild steel that must contain at least 10% chromium. The addition of chromium to steel results in the formation of a chromium oxide film, which gives stainless steel unique properties such as resistance to corrosion and the ability to repair itself in the presence of oxygen.

Due to its good rust and corrosion resistance, stainless steel has become an ideal choice for investment casting to produce parts of different shapes. Stainless steel investment casting, also known as stainless steel lost wax casting, is a metal forming method used to produce stainless steel parts with complex structures, accurate dimensions and good surface finish. For centuries, stainless steel castings have been widely used in construction, engineering, food machinery, medical machinery, shipbuilding and more.
