Understanding The Benefits of Steel Casting

Steel casting is a process that can have many benefits across industries as diverse as automotive to oil and gas to food equipment. The investment casting process can help your business lower costs while getting parts that are designed just the way you need them. Here are a few of the benefits you can expect to receive from steel casting through experienced stainless steel casting manufacturers:

– More design flexibility – At Intercast, we have an infinite choice of alloys, which gives you the flexibility to configure your cast the way you need it. This even includes very complex shapes or hollow section parts, helping configure it in a sturdy and repeatable way. This flexibility also comes with the ability to make changes more quickly with a shorter time from the design time to seeing a finished product.

– Greater reliability and cost benefits – Cast steel parts are made of an isotropic material, increasing the engineering reliability by created a very strong overall structure. This means you can count on it for day-to-day use. This superior reliability comes with a reduced weight and shorter delivery time. These things combine to make steel casting more economically efficient and viable.

– Manufacturing flexibility – With steel casting, we can choose among different chemical compositions depending on the engineering requirements of the job. More than any other cast metal, cast steel offers a wider range of physical and mechanical properties that are possible, helping provide added versatility to allow the steel cast to be designed for any job.

– Repeatable casts – Unlike welding, which can be difficult to create streamlined or repeatable shapes, casting allows for a more streamlined approach. This is because a mold is created, making the process more repeatable and efficient when creating multiple casts.

– Variable weight ranges – Steel castings can be created from a wide range of weights depending on what is needed. For example, a precision cast weighing only a few grams can be created, or a large steel casting that weighs many tons is possible. This flexibility in possible weights means that no steel casting job is too big or too small to be completed.

At Intercast, we strongly believe in the many benefits of steel casting. From offering more design flexibility to more cost-efficient processes, steel casting can be used to help make your business more efficient and effective. By controlling the whole process from design to creating the finished product at our foundry, we offer many benefits for our customers.
