Precision alloying for steel casting

Normally we use standard ingots for alloying by adding other elements like nickel, chrome, carbon, manganese and so on. The alloying liquid will be tested by spectrometer till it meets the required chemical composition.

In order to keep the alloying process swift and precision, we always do clean melting pots clear with special solvent. An unclean crucible will add extra iron and oxidized dross to the melting liquid as deteriorates the alloying.

High manganese steel precision casting

In early days, manganese steel castings are produced by sand casting process. And actually, lots of steel casting foundries still use green or resin sand casting process to produce manganese steel castings which have complicated inner features which can be only obtained by sand core. But if they have demanding surface roughness and complicated whole design, investment casting process can be an ideal choice.

Cinda steel investment casting foundry has rich experience in manganese steel casting. Our high manganese steel precision cast products have already been exported to Finland, Norway and Canada.

Main property of alloy steel casting

• High corrosion resistance requirement: for this purpose, the alloy steel casting is always asked to have high content of chrome, nickel or molybdenum.
• Heavy load: Certain alloy steel precision castings can bear much heavier load than common carbon steel investment castings.
• Extreme working environment: certain alloy steel precision castings are applied in extreme cold working environment or in sea water. Thus they need have high corrosion resistance and other special property.

Heat treatment for alloy steel investment casting

Heat treatment is a necessary process for alloy steel investment castings. Heat treatment can bring about improvement of surface hardness, relieving casting stress, increasing toughness and strength. Nearly all alloy steel investment castings require heat treatment to improve its mechanical property.
