When manufacturers have specialized needs, it is a good idea to consider investment casting with duplex stainless steel. Some applications require either austenitic (non-magnetic) or ferritic (magnetic) stainless steel alloys. These duplex stainless steels have properties that can achieve unique characteristics by carefully combining different component alloys. Among the characteristics that can be achieved are strength, corrosion resistance, weldability, cold-temperature performance, and more. The key to effectively utilizing duplex stainless steel is working with an experienced metallurgist and proven foundry.
