Steel investment castings or lost wax castings are typically used for a cost reduction alternative to stainless steel investment castings. Used in the energy, automotive, valve, and pump industries. Steel is cheaper than stainless due to the high costs of nickel and chrome added to steel in order to make stainless. Steel investment castings provide cost reduction due to near net shape, greatly reducing machining. Secondary heat treating can be performed to steel hardening it up to 62 Rockwell C and secondary annealing operations can make it one of the softest metal investment castings with the exception of aluminum.
