Steel Casting Methods at Fecision

We employ various casting techniques to achieve the optimal balance of quality, precision, and cost-effectiveness for your steel casting projects.
Each method offers distinct advantages depending on your component's complexity, size, and production volume requirements.

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

FAQs About 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.
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.
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.
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.
