Stainless steel casting finishing

Stainless steel casting always involves post shape modification and surface finishing. For large thin wall steel castings, shape modification is a necessary process to achieve desired shape (keep them within form and position tolerance). Sometimes, we have to design and make certain modification fixtures for oil press machine. Besides shape modification, the other important casting finishing is surface finishing, such as tumbling, acid cleaning, sand blasting, mirror polishing, plating, painting and powder coating etc..

Cinda investment casting foundry has rich experience in handling steel casting finishing. We have different tonnage oil pressers which can be used to modify different size steel castings. And many kinds of surface finishing can be done in house like tumbling, acid cleaning, sand blasting and mirror polishing. Besides we have partner painting and powder coating factory can do powder coating and painting for steel castings.

Shape modification of steel casting

Since precision casting process is always applied to produce thin wall castings, which is subject to deformation during solidification especially large castings. Thus shape modification is used to modify the deformed raw casting into the required form and position tolerance.

Stainless steel casting shape modification is using oil presser with designed mold to apply force onto certain deforming areas, in order to make the casting within required form tolerance. For some tubular steel castings or large steel cast housings, shape modification is an effective and necessary process to get the desired exact form and position tolerance.

surface finishing of stainless steel casting

Stainless steel casting surface finishing includes common surface machining like grinding, polishing or other precision machining to achieve fine surface smoothness, also includes various kinds of surface treatments such as sand blasting, sand shooting, tumbling, mirror polishing, brushing, powder coating or painting, electroplating, electrophoresis and so on.

Cinda investment casting foundry has our own precision machining and surface cleaning workshop, where we can do precision machining like fine grinding, polishing, milling, turning ,acid cleaning, tumbling, and steel ball blasting. As for other surface treatments, we have our long term cooperating partner surface treatment factories can do other fancy surface treatment for us.
