Stainless Steel Investment Casting
The Stainless Steel casting process produces very little waste and is often the preferred method for avoiding the high costs of Stainless Steel. Stainless Steel investment castings can achieve high levels of corrosion and abrasion resistance without plating or machining, thereby making it one of the most investment casting friendly metals available.
The various grades of Stainless Steel used for Investment Casting are :
AISI/SAE grade | EN steel number | EN steel name | ASTM grade | UNS | DIN | BS | UNI | JIS |
