Stainless Steel Casting Parts
Stainless steel casting is a steel manufacturing process that involves forming complex stainless steel products with fine details and dimension accuracy. It works by pouring molten stainless steel into molds for solidification to achieve a stainless steel product with the desired shape.
- Capable of achieving tight tolerances
- Can achieve very smooth results
- Efficient production
- Affordable tooling
- Allows use of different materials
- Reliable control and repeatable processes
Precision Casting in 3 Easy Steps
Whether you’re still in the idea stage, testing models, or have full specifications, our team can take you from wherever you are to a first project in a few short weeks.
Send Us Your Part
Wherever you’re at in the design process, our team can help! Whether you’re submitting full technical documents, mailing us a part, or even sending a hand-drawn sketch, we can get your project started in no time.
Our Team Gets to Work
Our designers and engineering department will work with you to ensure we meet your needs and exact specifications. We’ll also begin optimizing our equipment for your parts, create molds, and prepare for production.
Receive First Articles + Prepare for Production
We’ll rapidly produce ~20 first articles and ship them directly to you (typically 2-4 weeks). From here, we’ll work with you to review, refine the parts (if needed) and commence full-scale production.
Our Process
While the casting process remains the same, the Tianhui Machine Foundry utilizes our engineering team, robotics, and facilities to custom-tailor our facility to the unique needs of your project. This allows for quicker turnaround times, optimized production, and perfectly cast parts every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Stainless Steel Selected for Casting Processes?
Stainless steel alloys are primarily regarded for casting due to their mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. All types of stainless steel have outstanding foundry characteristics, such as excellent fluidity for mold fills, ease of melting in an air melt furnace, and excellent weldability.
What Industries Benefit from Casting Components in Stainless Steel?
Several industries benefit from components made through stainless steel casting. These include power generation, aviation, hydropower, hospitality, and medical industries. These industries prefer stainless steel made through this process due to its key benefits, such as corrosion resistance, versatility, durability, cost-effectiveness, aesthetic appeal, and hygiene. In particular, medical components and devices are often manufactured using stainless steel due to its reliability and ease of sterilization.
How Detailed and Intricate can Designs be When Casting with Stainless Steel?
Stainless steel casing provides high-level tolerance and surface finishes. It can achieve a tolerance of up +/- 0.010 inches for the first linear dimension and another +/- 0.005 per inch for additional linear sizes. Stainless steel casting can also achieve a finish of up to 125 RMS.
What are the Advantages of Choosing Stainless Steel Casting Compared to Other Metal Casting Methods?
Several methods are used for stainless steel casting. These include shell mold casting, sand casting, ceramic mold casting, and investment casting. The investment casting process offers the most significant advantages, especially if you want to achieve complex shapes requiring exceptional surface qualities, tight tolerance, and minimal machining and surface finishing after the casting process. This process is particularly efficient in reducing production costs by minimizing post-casting work.
