Why Choose Nickel Alloy Castings?
When standard metals fail under extreme heat or aggressive chemical attacks, casting nickel alloys becomes the critical solution for industrial performance. We specialize in producing nickel alloy investment casting components designed to survive environments where stainless steel or carbon steel would degrade rapidly.
Superior Performance in Extreme Conditions
Nickel base castings are engineered for reliability. Our process ensures that the inherent properties of these superalloys are fully retained in the final component.
- Oxidation Resistance:Â Maintains structural integrity and resists scaling at elevated temperatures.
- Corrosion Resistance: Provides exceptional protection against acids, alkalis, and seawater, making it ideal for corrosion resistant nickel castings.

The Investment Casting Advantage
We utilize the silica sol investment casting process (lost wax) to maximize the value of these expensive alloys. This method delivers near-net-shape nickel components, significantly reducing the need for secondary machining.
- Complex Geometries:Â Create intricate internal channels and thin walls that are impossible to machine from solid blocks.
- Material Efficiency:Â Minimizes waste of high-value nickel materials.
- Precision:Â Achieves tight tolerances directly from the mold, ensuring consistency across production runs.
Our Precision Nickel Casting Capabilities

We specialize in high-end silica sol nickel casting, utilizing the advanced lost-wax process to deliver components with exceptional detail and surface quality. This method is the industry standard for producing near-net-shape nickel components, significantly reducing the need for secondary machining and material waste.
Depending on the specific alloy grade and application requirements, we employ different melting techniques. For standard grades, we use air casting, while vacuum investment casting nickel is utilized for reactive superalloys to prevent oxidation and ensure maximum material purity under extreme heat.
Technical Specifications & Tolerances
Our facility is equipped to handle a wide range of project sizes, offering custom nickel alloy parts that meet rigorous international standards.
- Weight Range: From small precision parts weighing 0.01 kg up to heavy-duty components of 100 kg.
- Dimensional Tolerances: We strictly adhere to ISO 8062 CT5-CT7 standards. To ensure these tight tolerances fit your assembly, we recommend reviewing the datum definition in engineering to align design datums with our manufacturing capabilities.
- Surface Finish: The silica sol process achieves a smooth finish of Ra 3.2–6.3 μm directly out of the mold.

Hastelloy Equivalents (Chemical Resistance)
When dealing with severe corrosives, Hastelloy castings offer unmatched durability. We cast grades equivalent to Hastelloy C-276, known for its exceptional resistance to pitting and stress-corrosion cracking. These corrosion resistant nickel castings are critical for industrial scrubbers and chemical processing lines.
Monel Equivalents (Marine & Saltwater)
Monel castings (typically Monel 400 equivalents) are the top choice for marine environments. This copper-nickel alloy resists rapid flowing brackish water and seawater, making it ideal for marine hardware and specialized pump housing designs.
Alloy Breakdown and Applications
We provide custom nickel alloy parts based on specific UNS or ASTM designations. Below is a quick reference for the most common grades we process via the silica sol method:
| Alloy Type | Common Grades | Key Elements | Primary Benefits | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inconel | 625, 718 | Ni, Cr, Mo, Nb | High creep strength, oxidation resistance | Aerospace, Heat Exchangers |
| Hastelloy | C-276, B-2 | Ni, Mo, Cr | Superior corrosion resistance in acids | Chemical Reactors, Valves |
| Monel | 400, K-500 | Ni, Cu | Saltwater & steam resistance | Marine Propellers, Pump Shafts |

To guarantee dimensional accuracy, we employ CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines) to verify complex geometries against your specifications. Understanding engineering tolerance symbols is critical during this inspection phase to ensure proper fit and function for every component we ship.
Our comprehensive testing protocol includes:
- Mechanical Testing:Â Verification of tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and hardness (HB, HRC).
- NDT Capabilities:Â We perform X-ray, dye penetrant, and magnetic particle inspections to detect internal defects without damaging the part.
- Traceability:Â Full material certification and heat number tracking for total accountability.
We maintain a zero-defect commitment, ensuring that your nickel alloy investment casting parts arrive ready for immediate assembly or machining.
The VAST Advantage for Your Project
When sourcing casting nickel components, you need a partner who understands the complexities of high-performance alloys. We streamline the manufacturing process by acting as a true one-stop shop.
