Metal Casting: Austenitic Stainless Steel Casting
Casting Description: Pump Casing Casting.
Austenitic Stainless Steel include: stainless steel CF8M, stainless steel SS316, stainless steel CF8, stainless steel 304, stainless steel 304L(CF3), stainless steel steel 316L (CF3M)
Casting Process: Precision Lost Wax Investment Casting, or Sstainless Steel Sand Sasting process.
Casting Tolerance: ISO 8062 CT5-CT7 for investment casting, CT10 for stainless steel sand casting process.
Austenitic stainless steels are the most widely used, and while most are designated in the 300 series, some of the highly alloyed grades, though austenitic, have other identifying grade designations, e.g., alloy 20, 904L, and the 6 percent molybdenum grades. These latter are often known by their proprietary designation. These stainless steel grades are available in virtually all wrought product forms, and many are employed as castings. Some austenitic grades in which manganese and nitrogen are substituted partially for nickel are also designated in the 200 series. Types 304 (18 Cr, 8 Ni) and 316 (17 Cr, 10 Ni, 2Mo) are the workhorse grades, and they are utilized for a broad range of equipment and structures. Austenitic grades can be hardened by cold work but not by heat treatment; cold work increases strength with an accompanying decrease in ductility. They provide excellent corrosion resistance, respond very well to forming operations, and are readily welded. When fully annealed, they are not magnetic, but may become slightly magnetic when cold-worked. Compared to carbon steel, they have higher coefficients of thermal expansion and lower thermal conductivities. When austenitic grades are employed to resist corrosion, their performance may vary over a wide range, depending on the particular corrosive media encountered. As a general rule, increased levels of chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen result in increased resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments. Type 304 is routinely used for atmospheric corrosion resistance and to handle lowchloride potable water. At the other end of the spectrum are the 6% Mo austenitic stainless steels, which have accumulated many years of service experience handling seawater in utility steam condensers and in piping systems on offshore oil and gas platforms. Highly alloyed austenitic stainless steels are subject to precipitation reactions in the range of 1,500 to 1,800°F (815 to 980°C), resulting in a reduction of their corrosion.
