U.S. Foundry Best Practices for High Alloy SSVs

Severe Service Valves (SSVs) demand best practices in all phases of their manufacturing. Recently, we teamed up with Pete Schlener, President and CEO of Minncast Steel Foundry, to analyze how properly made castings are critical to making high alloy Severe Service Valves (SSVs). Published in the Stainless Steel World Americas April 2017 Issue, this paper details many aspects of the process including pattern construction, molding, melting, and heat treatment.
