Stainless Steel.
Stainless steel machine parts – cast and machined ready to install.
Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, hygienic and durable – the first choice for valves, pumps and components in the food, beverage and sanitary industries. We supply stainless steel parts as investment or sand castings and, on request, CNC-machined ready to install – to DIN standards or to your drawing.
Stainless Steel – or to customer specification.
| Grade | Designation | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1.4301 | X5CrNi18-10 · AISI 304 | The standard stainless steel: easy to form, weldable and versatile. |
| 1.4308 | GX5CrNi19-10 · CF8 | Cast grade, equivalent to 1.4301. |
| 1.4401 | X5CrNiMo17-12-2 · AISI 316 | Alloyed with molybdenum – higher resistance to chloride-containing media. |
| 1.4404 | X2CrNiMo17-12-2 · AISI 316L | Low-carbon version of 1.4401, particularly easy to weld. |
| 1.4408 | GX5CrNiMo19-11-2 · CF8M | Cast grade, equivalent to 1.4401. |
| 1.4571 | X6CrNiMoTi17-12-2 · AISI 316Ti | Titanium-stabilised – resistant to intergranular corrosion. |
| 1.4581 | GX5CrNiMoNb19-11-2 | Niobium-stabilised cast grade, counterpart to 1.4571. |
We work to common norms and standards such as DIN, DIN EN, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. If required, parts are produced to your drawing by our cooperation partners. On request we store your parts in Herzogenrath and deliver them by truck whenever you need them.

Frequently asked questions.
What is the difference between 1.4301 and 1.4401?
1.4401 (AISI 316) additionally contains molybdenum, making it more resistant to chloride-containing media such as salt water or cleaning agents. 1.4301 (AISI 304) is the universal standard for applications without special corrosion stress.
When is investment casting the right choice, and when sand casting?
Investment casting suits complex, intricate parts with fine surfaces and tight tolerances – often without rework. Sand casting is more economical for larger and simpler components.
Do you supply ready-to-install stainless steel parts?
Yes. On request, castings are CNC-machined and delivered ready to install.
