I've been experimenting with different stick materials in my foundry, and I've found that 1/2 inch stainless steel rods offer quite excellent strength and thermal conductivity, generating them ideal for applications where investment casting and calefaction retention are critical. However, one challenge I've encountered is the price. Stainless steel rods can be more expensive upfront compared to other materials. Has anyone else experienced this, and how do you justify the investment?
