The American Society of Metals Steel Casting Evaluation Committee divides steel castings into four major groups based on their carbon content. (a) Low carbon steel castings with a carbon content of less than 0.2%, (b) medium carbon steel castings with a carbon content of 0.2-0.5%, (c) high carbon steel castings with a Read more…
Casting technology goes to the “green” With China’s attention to environmental pollution and energy consumption, as a traditional “big energy consumption”, the development of casting industry is facing more and more pressure of environmental protection and energy consumption. How to “break the problem”? On November 5,2024, the 28th China investment Read more…
Investment casting is usually a method of obtaining castings by coating several layers of refractory material on the surface of wax molds, allowing them to harden and dry. The wax molds are melted off to form a shell, which is then baked and poured. Due to the high dimensional accuracy Read more…

The maximum limit length of precision castings is 700mm, and the easy to make length is below 200mm. The maximum weight is about 100 kilograms, usually below 10 kilograms. The dimensional tolerances of precision castings are 20mm ± 0.13mm, 100mm ± 0.30mm, 200mm ± 0.43mm, while the dimensional accuracy of Read more…
Characteristics of Casting Process for Stainless Steel Castings The mechanical properties of stainless steel castings are higher than those of cast iron, but their casting performance is worse than that of cast iron. Due to the high melting point of stainless steel precision casting, the steel liquid is prone to Read more…
