Why Stainless Steel Casting?

With a minimum of 10.5% chromium content by mass, stainless steel is a steel alloy that delivers unrivaled performance time and again. The stainless steel casting process offers highly desirable properties, including:

  • Outstanding corrosion resistance
  • High wear resistance
  • Excellent machinability
  • Superior surface finish

Bescast uses stainless steel casting for a broad range of parts, such as structural castings and open and closed-face impellers.
