Types of Steel Used in Our Casting Processes

Steel castings offer exceptional versatility through various alloy compositions, each providing specific performance characteristics. At Fecision, we work with multiple steel types to deliver the optimal solution for your application requirements.

Stainless Steel Casting: Corrosion-Resistant Solutions

Stainless steel casting provides exceptional corrosion resistance combined with excellent mechanical properties.

Advantages of Stainless Steel Castings:

Superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments
Excellent high-temperature performance (up to 1700°F)
Exceptional hygiene for food and medical applications
Outstanding aesthetic appearance with minimal maintenance
Good weldability and machinability
Extended service life in corrosive environments

Why Choose Stainless Steel for Casting？

These specialized alloys contain a minimum of 10.5% chromium, creating a passive oxide layer that protects against environmental degradation. Our stainless steel casting service delivers components that maintain their integrity in the most challenging environments.

Grade	Type	Key Properties	Common Applications
304/304L	Austenitic	Excellent corrosion resistance, good formability	Food processing equipment, chemical containers
316/316L	Austenitic	Superior corrosion resistance, especially to chlorides	Marine equipment, pharmaceutical processing
17-4 PH	Precipitation Hardening	High strength, moderate corrosion resistance	Aerospace components, high-stress parts
410	Martensitic	Good strength, moderate corrosion resistance	Turbine blades, pump components
CF8M	Cast Equivalent of 316	Excellent corrosion resistance, good weldability	Valves, pumps, chemical processing equipment

Sand Casting

Our sand casting process uses expendable sand molds to create complex steel components. This versatile method is ideal for both small and large castings with moderate complexity.

Suitable for components from a few ounces to several tons
Cost-effective for low to medium production volumes
Accommodates complex internal geometries
Excellent for large components with intricate features

Investment Casting

Our investment casting (lost wax) process delivers exceptional surface finish and dimensional accuracy for complex steel components. This precision method is ideal for intricate parts requiring minimal machining.

Superior surface finish and dimensional precision
Excellent for complex geometries and thin walls
Reduced need for secondary machining
Ideal for components requiring tight tolerances

Shell Mold Casting

Combine elements of sand and investment casting to deliver good surface finish with moderate production costs. This method is ideal for medium-sized components with moderate complexity.

Better dimensional accuracy than sand casting
Good surface finish requiring minimal machining
Cost-effective for medium production runs
Suitable for components with moderate complexity

Dimensional Capabilities

FAQs About Steel Casting

What is the difference between steel and stainless steel casting?

Steel casting primarily refers to carbon or alloy steel components, while stainless steel casting specifically involves alloys containing at least 10.5% chromium. The chromium in stainless steel forms a passive oxide layer that provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard steel castings. Stainless steel castings are typically used in applications requiring corrosion resistance, while carbon and alloy steel castings offer excellent strength and are more cost-effective for applications where corrosion resistance is less critical.

What is the typical lead time for steel casting projects?

Lead times vary based on project complexity, size, quantity, and current production schedule. Typical lead times range from 4-8 weeks for standard projects. Investment casting generally requires longer lead times than sand casting due to the more intricate process. For urgent projects, we offer expedited services when production capacity allows. During your initial consultation, we'll provide a detailed timeline based on your specific requirements.

Can you provide secondary machining and finishing services?

Yes, Fecision offers comprehensive secondary operations to deliver fully finished components. Our services include CNC machining, heat treatment, surface finishing (shot blasting, grinding, polishing), non-destructive testing, and coating/painting as required. This integrated approach ensures dimensional accuracy, proper material properties, and the desired surface finish while simplifying your supply chain with a single point of responsibility.

What information do you need for a steel casting quote?

To provide an accurate quote, we typically need: technical drawings (preferably in CAD format), material specifications, required quantity, surface finish requirements, tolerance requirements, any heat treatment specifications, inspection/testing requirements, and project timeline. The more detailed information you can provide, the more precise our quote will be. Our engineering team can also help optimize your design for casting if you're in the early stages of development.
