Stainless steel is a steel alloy consisting mainly of iron and chromium. Stainless steel is strong, durable and (depending on its exact composition) resistant to heat, corrosion, oxidation and certain environmental conditions.

Due to the good castability of stainless steel, stainless steel products with complex shapes are mostly produced by stainless steel casting. The stainless steel casting process is a lost-wax silica sol casting process that begins with the formation of a ceramic around a wax pattern to form the shell used to cast stainless steel. Once the wax patterns are created, they are melted into the gating system, dipped in slurry and sand to form a layered shell, and replaced with molten stainless steel.

Stainless steel castings for glass fittings There are many types of glass fittings or hardware designed and manufactured from stainless steel casting, including glass spider fittings, glass faucets, glass clamps and more. These cast stainless steel glass accessories cover any frameless glass application in home and commercial applications.
