Stainless Steel & Its Advantages Stainless steel, is a type of steel usually containing 10 to 30 percent chromium. In conjunction with low carbon content, chromium imparts remarkable resistance to corrosion and heat. Other elements, such as nickel, molybdenum, titanium, aluminum, niobium, copper, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, or selenium, may be added to increase corrosion resistance to specific environments, enhance oxidation resistance, and impart special characteristics. There are different corrosion resistant properties associated with different grades of stainless steel. Because of…

Stainless Steel Glass Spider Fitting, which is produced by stainless steel casting process, can be used alone. When in use, it needs to connect bolts and other component, because glass spider fitting is just the name of a part, and can not be fixed itself. Simply speaking, it is used to connect the bolt to fix the glass, at the same time will be a force that passes to the connecting parts, thus to have the effect of fixing fuction…

What is Stainless Steel Investment Casting? Some of the products are of strange shape and cannot be produced by techniques such as pipe bending when producing stainless steel products. In order to produce such products with irregular shape (hollow or solid inside), a stainless steel casting process of filling and forming with wax mould, sand mould and liquid material is adopted. Such process is called stainless steel investment casting. Advantage: Can make a variety of products according to different wax models.…

Like glass spider fitting, stainless steel glass spigot or glass fence spigot, is also one of the common glass hardwares used for base clamped applications such as swimming pool, glass pool fence, glass railing and etc. Casting Process of Stainless Steel Glass Spigot Stainless steel casting is a casting process of manufacturing complex shapes with stainless steel materials that are not easily or cost effectively forged or fabricated. Glass spigots are designed in different dimensions for the the multi thickness of…

What are Spider Fittings? Where are They Used? Spider Fittings, or Glass Spider Fittings, are the stainless steel hardwares for mounting glass to walls, posts, fins, or other structural substrates. Typical Types of spider fittings can be divided into Fin Spiders fittings and Point fix Spider fittings. Ideal for creating an “all glass” look, Spider Fittings are designed for mounting to walls, posts, fins or other structural substrates with minimal visible connections. Holes must be drilled in the glass for assembly.…

What is Duplex Stainless Steel Casting? Duplex Stainless Steel Casting is the casting process using duplex stainless steel as the material. Duplex stainless steel is called “duplex” because they have a two-phase microstructure consisting of grains of ferritic and austenitic stainless steel. The picture shows the yellow austenitic phase as “islands” surrounded by the blue ferritic phase. When duplex stainless steel is melted it solidifies from the liquid phase to a completely ferritic structure. As the material cools to room temperature,…

When designing a new metal component by casting, the designer or user may doubt if cast steel or cast iron should be more ideal for its application. Frankly speaking, both cast steel and cast iron have their own advantages and disadvantages. We can only select the right material according to its properties and the working environment of the casting part. To help our customers to tell the differences of these two kinds of different materials better, below we will introduce…

17-4 PH Stainless Steel (SAE type 630 stainless steel), is the martensitic precipitation-hardened stainless steel casting grade. Typical usage of 17-4 stainless steel castings is where high strength and a modest level of corrosion resistance is required. Strength and toughness desired can be manipulated by temperate range in the heat treatment process. Best Stainless offers high quality standards including: UNS S17400, AMS 5643, ASTM A564, and ASTM A693 Grade 630. Chemical Composition 17-4 PH Stainless Steel C Si Mn P…
