Alloy Steel Investment Casting with Machined

OEM processing customization

The manufacturing process of steel casting includes three steps: creating a pattern, pouring metal into a mold cavity, and cooling. During the cooling process, excess material (sprue) is removed. Once cooled, the casting is reheated to restore the material’s softness and improve impact strength. The quality of the pattern used in the steel casting process is crucial to the dimensional accuracy of the final product.

The production of steel castings is mainly focused on valves and fittings. These parts are used in drilling, transportation, and refining. The weight of these components can vary from a few pounds to several tons. The pressures applied to these castings can reach thousands of p.s.i. and thousands of kPa in valves. A substantial portion of the steel casting industry is used in the construction of heavy trucks. Its range of applications includes axle housings, wheels, differential housings, and fifth wheels.
