What are stainless steel castings?
Stainless steel casting is a metalworking process that produces custom stainless steel parts. It works by pouring melton stainless steel into a mold to solidify, resulting in a solid stainless steel part in the desired shape.
Compared to other processes, stainless steel casting can produce complex components with fine detail and good dimensional accuracy, reducing or eliminating post-machining operations. It is also a good alternative to welded manufacturing ...

Sand casting is the oldest known casting process, dating back to before 1000 BC Process control, material selection, tolerance capability, ability to produce fine parts, wide size range - of course, these have all come a long way progress. But metal fundamentals were relatively unchanged. Create a cavity in the shape of your desired part and pour molten metal into it.
Developed over the centuries, sand casting is the most versatile and probably the most widely used method of metal casting.

Industries that use gray iron castings include: agriculture, construction, automotive, construction, electronics, irrigation, machine building, transportation and ventilation.
Gray iron castings provide durability, hardness and strength to any operation in which they are used. There are many applications for gray iron castings. As non-combustible building elements, they provide excellent fire protection for wooden support structures. Additionally, their graphite/graphite flake content can be ...

Die casting is the manufacturing process of pouring or pressing molten metal into a steel mold. Molds (also known as tools or dies) are made from steel and are designed for each project. This allows each component to be created with accuracy and repeatability. Aluminum, zinc and magnesium are the most commonly used die casting alloys.
Die casting advantages
Die casting offers significant advantages over other manufacturing processes, which often result in substantial cost savings, not only...

What is CF8M stainless steel?
CF8M, its equivalent type 316, is the most widely used American Standard austenitic stainless steel casting grade. The first letter "C" indicates that this alloy is primarily for corrosion resistance. The second letter "F" is the approximate position on the iron-chromium-nickel (FeCrNi) ternary diagram, indicating the content of iron, chromium and nickel. The number "8" refers to the maximum carbon content in 0.01% increments. In this case, 0.08%. The last letter "...

Electroplating can occur with individual metals or various combinations (alloys), which can provide additional value to the electroplating process. Some of the most commonly used plated metals include:
Copper: Copper is often used for its electrical conductivity and heat resistance. It is also commonly used to improve adhesion between layers of materials.
Zinc: Zinc is highly resistant to corrosion. Often, zinc is alloyed with other metals to enhance this property. For example, when alloyed wi...

In fact, nothing can be made without heat treatment, the process of heating and cooling metal under strict control to improve its properties, performance and durability.
Heat treatment softens the metal and improves formability. It makes the part stiffer for strength. It can place hard surfaces on relatively soft parts for added wear resistance. It creates a corrosion-resistant skin to protect components that would otherwise corrode. Also, it can toughen brittle product...
