8620, 4130, 4140, WCB, and 1035
are best choices due to high volume.
CA-15 (410), 440C are best choices.
Specify 416 if necessary for machinability.
CF-8M (316), CF-3M (316L), CF-8 (304) are
best choices. Specify CF-16F (303) if necessary
for machinability.
Blend of corrosion resistance and strength.
Costs vary widely depending on grade.
S7, D2, H13 are commonly poured.
Silicon Bronze or Silicon Brass are best choices.
Choose based on end use.
Alloy CW2M is good choice for
corrosion resistance.
All grades pour well choice is based on
end use and cost.
