Stainless Steel Casting in Pakistan
Lahore Casting pours Stainless Steel (304, 316, CF8M) to order at Mominpura Road, Lahore, Pakistan, by sand casting from 1 kg to 500 kg. Chromium-nickel steel that carries its own oxide film, so it does not rust. CF8M is the cast equivalent of 316 - the same molybdenum that buys resistance to chlorides and acids. Every heat is checked on an OES spectrometer before pouring and a material test certificate is issued on request.
Grades and properties
| Grades poured | 304, 316, CF8M |
|---|---|
| CF8M | Cast 316: about 19% Cr, 10% Ni, 2% Mo |
| Tensile strength | 480-550 MPa |
| Condition | Solution annealed and quenched |
| Resists | Water, steam, mild acids, chlorides (CF8M) |
When to choose it
Use Stainless Steel when: The part is wet, chemical, or food contact: pump casings, impellers, valve bodies, strainer bodies.
Choose something else when: Nothing corrosive is present - it costs several times grey iron for no benefit.
