When completing stainless steel casting process, we may found that the surface of some stainless steel castings are smooth, but some look a bit rough. So what caused the difference? Here we would like to analysize the reasons that may affect the surface roughness of stainless steel castings. 1. Surface Quality of Stainless Steel The stainless steel is made of columnar crystal structure mesh, and the refractory materials, additives and water are filled in the middle, so that there are…

Stainless steels, because of their resistance to corrosion, are often used in highly aggressive conditions, which will cause most alternative materials to fail rapidly. Casting of stainless steel is a method of manufacturing complex shapes of stainless steel components that are not easily or cost effectively fabricated or forged. Stainless steel casting involves heating the stainless steel material to above its melting point and introducing the material into a mould where it solidifies into the required shape. In this article,…

For its good plasticity, corrosion resistance and lightweight of aluminum alloys, this type of metal material is widely used in automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding and other fields. With the development of China’s manufacturing industry, the demand for the aluminum alloys and aluminum alloy castings is increasing, which will push forward aluminum casting industry.The main methods of aluminum castings are divided into pressure die casting and gravity casting. Here we will analysize the difference between two kinds of casting processes. Die Casting…

Stainless Steel Foundry is the professional manufacturing foundry for stainless steel castings. Maybe you will ask why stainless steel is so popular in casting process? What are the advantages of such material? Corrosion resistance: All stainless steels have a high resistance to corrosion. Low alloyed grades resist corrosion in atmospheric conditions; highly alloyed grades can resist corrosion in most acids, alkaline solutions, and chloride bearing environments, even at elevated temperatures and pressures. High and low temperature resistance: Some grades will…

What is Aluminum? Aluminium or aluminum is a chemical element with symbol Al and atomic number 13. It is a silvery-white, soft, nonmagnetic and ductile metal in the boron group. Light, durable and functional: these are the qualities that make aluminium one of the key engineering materials for various applications. We can find aluminium in the homes we live in, in the automobiles we drive, in the trains and aeroplanes that take us across long distances, in themobile phones and…

What is Investment Casting? Investment casting, often referred to as precision casting or lost wax casting, uses pouring process to achieve complex forms by an expendable-mold. It is the casting technique that can achieve exceptional accuracy for products both small and large, in a wide range of materials. To create a tree assembly, a wax pattern is dipped into ceramic material. Once the ceramic dries, it is placed in a kiln which hardens the ceramic and causes the wax center…

Solution Treatment is the common heat treatment method for stainless steel castings. Solution treatment refers to the heat treatment process that heating stainless steel castings to a high temperature and keeping constant temperature, so that the excess phase is fully dissolved into the solid solution. Solution treatment aims to get uniform supersaturated solid solution by dissolving the carbide and γ phase in stainless steel castings, help to redissolve out fine and uniform distributed carbide and γ phase when aging, while…

A bathroom is a room in the home or hotel for personal hygiene activities, generally containing a sink (basin) and either a bathtub, shower, or both. In most countries, the toilet is included in this room, for ease of plumbing, whereas other cultures consider this insanitary, and give that fixture a room of its own. In the bathroom, lots of stainless steel fittings are assembled for washing or decorating purpose. Due to the large demands of bathroom and toilet fittings,…
