CastCon is a new manufacturing approach capable of
producing parts with a wide variety of sizes, shapes,
materials and structural characteristics. The mechanical
properties of CastCon parts can be as good as those of
wrought materials. Applications of 316 stainless steel One of the most commonly used stainless steels. Various castings used in the aircraft, chemical processing, electronic, nuclear, fertilizer, food processing, guided missile, marine, mining, oil refining, pharmaceutical, plastics, power plant, soap, and textile industries. |
