Stainless Steel is used for investment Alloy Steel Casting castings that require high resistance to corrosion and wear in safety-critical applications for defense, oil and gas, medical and other commercial industries. Stainless steel is a group of ferrous alloys that all contain chromium – the key ingredient for superior corrosion resistance. There are many grades of stainless steel with varying alloy composition and physical characteristics. All stainless steels contain at least 10.5 percent chromium but may contain significantly more depending on the application.

Higher chromium content results in increased corrosion resistance. Additional alloying ingredients include molybdenum, nickel, titanium, aluminum, copper, nitrogen, phosphorous and selenium.In the investment casting industry for more than 95 years, we are experts in providing engineered stainless steel solutions that are second to none.By working with our customers’ design teams, we deliver custom solutions and turn concepts into superior stainless steel investment cast products. From the beginning, we’ re involved in engineering for manufacturability which helps avoid problems and reduce cost.

Stainless Steel Investment Castings Our melt technicians are capable of custom mixing alloys as needed to produce a final metallurgy that is certified to meet individual customer requirements. Every heat is spectrographically tested to ensure the correct chemistry and mechanical properties are verified by in-house testing of separately cast tensile specimens. Metallurgical quality and integrity are ensured by archiving a small metal sample of each heat for seven to ten years to assure our customers of the metal quality and address any technical inquiries that may arise years after castings have been produced and shipped.high-precision components with greater dimensional accuracy, higher consistency and better surface finish than other casting methods.

It is often the only way a part can be manufactured economically. We are experts at converting expensive multi-piece fabrications into one-piece castings significantly reducing cost and lead-times.All components are manufactured for internal strength and integrity. With the precision lost-wax investment casting process, we can produce parts with strict tolerance requirements. CFS  stainless steel foundry uses Solidification Modeling software to predict the outcome of a casting’s internal quality level before a part is ever made, significantly improving time-to-market and reducing development costs due to “trial and error” methods of process development.
