Although it was not quite common in the past, stainless steel casting has been increasing in popularity over the more recent years and has found numerous application in practically all the big industrial fields including the automotive industry, the construction industry, the water industry, the appliance industry the environmental conservation industry and many other industries where it is being used extensively to improve people’s lives. However, closer look at the most common applications of stainless steel sand casting will reveal that, at present, it is most widely applied within the automotive industry. In fact the automotive industry is definitely the fastest growing industry when it comes to the application of stainless steel casting worldwide.
The fact that within just the past decade alone the largest users of automotive steel in the world have increased their average consumption by more than 20kg, with the United States having increased consumption to more than 40kg, there is a clear and pressing need to find ways to produce more much faster in order to accommodate the ever growing need for the same. Stainless steel casting provides one of the fastest and cost effective solutions to this problem and it is therefore no wonder that the automotive industry continues to top the list when it comes to the applications of steel casting. However, it is worth pointing out that newer and even cheaper methods such as 3d printing sand casting, which have been making inroads into the industry in recent years, may well take over completely in the coming feature mainly because they are faster and more reliable. Other applications of stainless steel casting include the following;
Water Industry
One of the biggest concerns within the water industry has always been to try and protect water from pollution during storage and during transportation and so far all the research points to the use of stainless steel as the best material for this purpose. Today stainless steel is definitely the most widely used material when it comes to water preparation, transportation, and storage as well as all the other processes that lie in between, including desalination, recycling and purification of the water.
Construction Industry
Until a few years ago, the construction industry was the largest consumer of stainless steel castings. Although it may have been overtaken in that role by the automotive industry, it still continues to use stainless steel castings quite extensively especially when it comes to high rise buildings. The stainless steel castings are used for all manner of things including flooring, handrails, windows, doors, elevator panels, walls as well as other interior and exterior walls and decorations.
Appliance Industry
All the craze in the appliance industry is all about the manufacture of appliances made of stainless steel. Naturally, the appliance industry accounts for most of the smaller scale customers that will be received by a typical sand casting company such as Gamma Foundries because this provides them with a relatively inexpensive way to get the products that they want as fast as they need them.
