Durable steel casting - traditional craftsmanship with modern technology
Stavanger Steel - Castings
Castings are a crucial component in many industries, where high-quality and durable parts are required to meet specific needs and demands. At Stavanger Steel, we are experts in castings, and our advanced production techniques combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology to deliver top-notch products. We ensure that every part we produce meets the highest standards of quality and performance. We have two melting furnaces and a total melting capacity of 3500 kg of steel per part.
What is Casting?
Casting refers to the process of producing parts by melting metal and pouring it into molds where it solidifies and takes shape. This process allows for the creation of complex shapes and details that are difficult to achieve with other manufacturing methods. Castings are indispensable in many industries, including automotive, construction, and energy sectors, due to their durability and precision.
Production process
At Stavanger Steel, our production process begins with carefully designed sand molds. Once the metal is melted and poured into the molds, it undergoes a solidification period where the material hardens into its final form. Afterward, the casting is further processed to achieve the desired surface and dimensions. Our advanced technology and collaboration with specialized partners ensure that each part is of the highest quality and precisely meets the customer's specifications.
Applications and Uses
Castings are used in a wide range of applications. In the automotive industry, they are employed for engine blocks, transmissions, and other critical components. In the construction sector, castings are found in structural elements and decorative details. The energy industry relies on castings to produce components for power plants and oil rigs. This versatility makes castings an indispensable part of many technical and industrial systems.
Materials Used in Casting
At Stavanger Steel, we work with a variety of materials to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Our specialties include duplex, super duplex, austenitic, and martensitic steels. These materials are chosen for their unique properties such as strength, corrosion resistance, and durability, making them ideal for use in demanding environments.
Benefits of Castings
Castings offer several advantages, including the ability to create complex shapes and details that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to manufacture. This method is cost-effective, especially for large volumes, and produces products with high strength and long service life. Additionally, castings can be tailored to meet specific requirements in terms of material and design, providing a high degree of flexibility and customization.
