The investment casting process is an excellent choice for producing dimensionally accurate parts that require superior corrosion resistance for the marine industry. Since many highly corrosion resistant materials (i.e. 316 stainless steel) are cast on a regular basis, it makes good economic sense to employ this process.
Foundry application
Examples of parts produced for marine applications include:
deck hardware
Pump
pump casing
Cleats, handles, brackets, covers and other marine hardware
Marine electronic equipment enclosure
engine parts
bearing seat
sealed case
sealing ring
