casting 316 stainless
I'm new to this, so forgive me if this is a stupid question:
Can I cast 316 stainless steel using an oxy-acy torch? I'm making very small parts and am expecting to do some machining after casting. I was thinking of just heating up a small 1"x2"x1/4" peice and meting it, then pouring it into an open greensand indentaion of the shape I want. Is that possible - do I need to use any kind of flux? What sort of problems can I expect to have to deal with? Any suggestions appreciated. |
