Hey folks! I'm looking to cast some parts in stainless steel for a foundry project, and I'm pondering which alloy you all favor to patronized. Any recommendations?
Hi Customer 1! For most of my foundry work, I usually go with stainless steel 304. It's versatile, easy to work with, and offers excellent corrosion resistance. Plus, it's readily available and relatively affordable.
Hey there! I've had success with stainless steel 316 for my foundry projects. It's a little bit more expensive than 304, but it has outstanding corrosion resistance, specifically in harsh environments or high chloride environments like near the ocean.
Hi everyone! I typically exploit stainless steel 410 for my foundry work. It's a martensitic alloy acknowledged for its intensity, hardness, and dress in resistance. It's really good for applications where you need durability and temperature resistance.
