ZEN YOUNG’s investment casting foundry covers an area of around 30000m2 with 110 employees. Following the standardized production of ISO 9001:2015,we can handel material in stainless steel, carbon steel, low alloy steel, non ferrous alloys, like WCB, 304,316 Stainless steel, CD4MCu,CA6NM,SS420, etc. Our products serve the industries like pump & valve, automobile, food, chemical, pharmacy, airplane and aerospace and so on.

Stainless Steel Grades

Stainless steel offers numerous benefits over other alloys, including longer service life and lower maintenance costs. While this material can be a little more expensive to produce initially compared to other alloys, it can be very economical over time. Stainless steel is available in multiple types and grades to meet requirements for use in automotive, machinery, plumbing, mining, petrochemical, electrical industry, aerospace, submarine, railway, and others.

1.1 Austenitic Stainless Steel This type of casting is the most commonly used material, accounting for more than 70% of production. Grade 304 is the most commonly specified casting grade, with other popular austenitic grades including 316 and 317.

1.2 Ferritic Stainless Steel This type of casting involves a chromium stainless steel process, with the chromium content varying between 10.5 and 18% along with low carbon content.

1.3 Martensitic Stainless Steel This casting has a relatively high carbon content (0.1 – 1.2%) compared to other stainless steel casting types. Popular grades of this type include 410, 416, and 17-4.

1.4 Duplex Stainless Steel These stainless steels contain relatively high chromium levels (between 18 and 28%) and moderate amounts of nickel (between 4.5 and 8%).

The Types of Casting Processes:


Sand casting

The material used to make molds for sand casting is sand, not ceramics. Due to the roughness of sand, sand casting is most commonly used for large castings, which usually require less detail precision and tolerances.

Shell mold casting

Shell mold casting is a metal casting process similar to sand casting, in that molten metal is poured into an expendable mold. However, in shell mold casting, the mold is a thin-walled shell created from applying a sand-resin mixture around a pattern. The pattern, a metal piece in the shape of the desired part, is reused to form multiple shell molds. A reusable pattern allows for higher production rates, while the disposable molds enable complex geometries to be cast. Shell mold casting requires the use of a metal pattern, oven, sand-resin mixture, dump box, and molten metal.

Investment casting

Investment casting is one of the traditional casting methods. That is, the metal is heated to the temperature of the molten liquid, and then the material is poured into a mold designed with a suitable negative space and gated to effectively completely fill the molten metal. Once the metal has cooled and solidified, the metal part can be removed from the mold for finishing. Investment casting, also known as lost wax casting, is usually used to make jewelry and metal parts with complex shapes. 

Die casting 

Die casting is a kind of metal casting process, which is characterized by forcing molten metal under high pressure into the forming cavity. The cavity is made using two hardened tool steel molds, which have been processed into a certain shape, and die casting works similarly to injection molds.

Lost foam casting

Lost foam casting is a type of evaporative pattern casting. it maintains outstanding advantages, especially in casting complicated and precise molds.Unlike traditional methods which include the pattern withdrawn process before casting and require skillfulness in the pattern removal step, with respect to the lost foam method, the pattern is evaporated when the molten metal is poured into helping to reduce these considerations.


We will choose different casting methods for processing according to the product shape, material and your working conditions. Many years of processing experience can guarantee the quality of the casting parts.
