Stainless steel’s biggest advantage is its excellent corrosion resistance. Unlike other materials, stainless steel investment castings have a built in chromium oxide layer that provide exceptional anti-corrosive properties. These corrosion resistant properties make stainless steel castings ideal for military, medical, and industrial applications.
Stainless steel is a material that offers excellent mechanical properties and is available in wide variety of grades. Some stainless steel grades come with the added bonus of excellent corrosion resistance and some grades are heat treatable allowing for further enhancement of mechanical and corrosion resistant properties. These are just some of the reasons why stainless steels are commonly used to manufacture a wide range of industrial and commercial investment casting products today. American Casting Company has extensive experience manufacturing investment castings from a vast variety of stainless steel alloys in various shapes and sizes.
