FAQs About Stainless Steel Casting
Kormax manages quality throughout every stage of our stainless steel foundry solutions. We only work with qualified foundries that meet internationally recognized quality standards. Our integrated management system is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. Inspection requirements, material certification, and documentation are agreed upon upfront through the PPAP process, ensuring expectations are clearly defined before production begins.
The best process depends on your component geometry, dimensional tolerances, surface finish requirements, production volume, and application.
Typically, investment casting is selected for complex parts requiring a high-quality surface finish and tight tolerances, while sand casting is more flexible for larger or simpler parts.
Kormax weighs these trade-offs and then recommends the best casting process.
Surface finish and dimensional tolerances vary depending on the casting method and any secondary machining. Investment casting generally produces the finest as-cast finish, while machining can achieve tighter tolerances where required. Kormax works with customers early in the project to align manufacturing methods with functional and dimensional requirements.
The minimum order quantities depend on the stainless steel grade, the casting process, the tooling requirements, and the foundry selected. Kormax supports everything from prototype and low-volume projects through to long-term production programs and can recommend the most practical manufacturing approach for your requirements.
All stainless steel casting projects are quoted individually. Costs are dependent on aspects such as alloy grade, size of component, complexity, casting method, tooling, machining, inspection requirements, production volume, and delivery schedules. Kormax will review these aspects with you before providing a quote for your project.
Lead times vary depending on the complexity of the part, the grade of stainless, any tooling requirements, foundry capacity, machining, inspection requirements, and volume of production. At the outset of the project, Kormax sets realistic delivery schedules and works proactively with customers to manage production planning and minimize potential delays.
Kormax operates an integrated management system certified to ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems), and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems). These certifications support consistent project management, quality assurance, environmental responsibility, and workplace safety across our stainless steel casting solutions.
