Stainless Steel Grades We Cast
We support a range of commonly specified stainless steel grades used across structural, corrosive, and high-load applications. If you’re searching by grade, the links below take you straight to more detailed material information:
| Stainless steel 304 🔗 | A general-purpose austenitic grade used where corrosion resistance and formability are required. |
| Stainless steel 304L 🔗 | Low-carbon 304 is typically specified for welded components to reduce the risk of sensitization. |
| Stainless steel 316 🔗 | Chosen for improved corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride-exposed environments. |
| Stainless steel 316L 🔗 | A low-carbon alternative to 316, commonly used for welded parts in aggressive service conditions. |
| Stainless steel 410 🔗 | A martensitic grade offering higher strength and hardness with moderate corrosion resistance. |
| Stainless steel 17-4 🔗 | A precipitation-hardened stainless steel used where high strength and dimensional stability are essential. |
Stainless Steel Casting Methods
Kormax supports multiple stainless steel casting processes, so the method fits the part, not the other way around. We’ll help you weigh up geometry, tolerance, surface finish, and volume before anything is locked in.
Sand Casting Services
Flexible designs, lower setup cost, scalable volumes, and very large parts, depending on the sand process.

FAQs About Stainless Steel Casting
Quality is managed through a combination of qualified foundry selection, defined inspection checkpoints, and material certification aligned to your specification. Requirements are agreed upon upfront through the PPAP process, so expectations around testing, inspection, and documentation are clear before production begins.
That depends on part geometry, tolerance, surface finish, and volume. Stainless steel investment casting is typically used for complex parts requiring tight tolerances and a high-quality finish, while sand casting offers greater flexibility for larger or simpler components. Kormax will help you assess the trade-offs before committing to a process.
Surface finish and tolerance depend on the casting method and any secondary machining. Investment casting delivers the finest as-cast finish, while machining can be applied where tighter tolerances or critical interfaces are required. We’ll align finish expectations with your application early in the process.
Minimum order quantities vary depending on the grade, casting method, and foundry. If you’re working with low volumes or a one-off component, it’s still worth talking with us. We’ll confirm what’s practical and outline your options.
