Our Services

  1. Sand Casting

    Casting Quality focus on Metal Parts industry, we provide professional service in Metal Casting field.

    Sand Casting is a popular metal form method, are suitable for all materiel, such as grey iron, ductile iron, malleable iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and bronze.

  2. Investment Casting

    also named as precision lost wax casting, mainly suitalbe for carbon steel and stainless steel parts. We also provide grey iron and ductile iron and aluminum and bronze parts by investment casting. It can achieve the best appearance with good tolerance

  3. Shell Casting

    Shell casting method is a good option to replace investment casting and sand casting. the quality is better than sand casting parts, suitable for bulk production.

ASTM A487 Grade CA6NM (Class A or B) and ASTM A757 Grade E3N also require total content of residual elements 0.50 (Cu 0.50, W 0.10, V 0.05)

CA6NM Heat treatment process: www.castingquality.com
Heat to 1850°F [1010°C] minimum, air cool to 200°F [95°C] maximum prior to any optional intermediate temper, but shall cool to 100°F [40°C] maximum before the final temper. The final temper shall be between 1050°F [565°C] and 1150°F [620°C].
In standard of ASMT A487, CA6NM has two classes A and B based on heat treatment process. CA6NM Class A should be tempered at can be at 1050-1150°F [565-650°C], and CA6NM Class B can be tempered in 1225-1275°F [665-690°C] or 1050-1150°F [565-650°C].

CA6NM Stainless Steel Mechanical Property:www.castingquality.com 
/A487 Grade CA6NM don’t require impact requirement, but ASMT A352 Grade CA6NM and ASTM A757 Grade E3N require impact testing at -100°F [-73°C]. Buyers should confirm the Standard in drawings. ASTM 487 Grade CA6NM (Class A and B) has two mechanical properties because of its difference of heat treatment requirement.
