Investment casting parts for automotive & 2-wheel
In vehicle construction, traditional manufacturing processes quickly reach their limits with complex geometries and high stresses. At SBV Stahltechnik, we offer investment casting parts for automotive and two-wheel applications, manufactured with precise tolerances and designed for maximum durability. This way, we combine complex geometries with maximum functional safety throughout the entire service life.
Why investment casting parts are crucial in automotive & 2-wheel
Components in engines and exhaust systems are subjected to strong vibrations, fluctuating temperatures, and high mechanical loads. Conventional processes such as welding or milling often result in cracks, distortion, or material weaknesses in these areas.
With investment casting, geometries can be realized where other processes fail. Precision in the process, repeat accuracy in series production, and tight tolerances through subsequent mechanical processing. This forms the basis for durable, functionally safe components in the automotive and two-wheel sector.
Typical investment casting parts for automotive & 2-wheel
Exhaust systems
Manifold flanges, EGR valves, and turbocharger components are cast in corrosion-resistant stainless steels. They withstand thermal peak loads and ensure permanent tightness.
Drive & transmission
Shift forks, clutch parts, and differential components are created with precise tolerances. This ensures precise shifting and reliable power transmission.
Chassis & steering
Steering knuckles, wheel carriers, and brackets are manufactured with high repeat accuracy. They provide stability under dynamic loads and contribute to driving safety.
Special two-wheel parts
Footrests, brackets, sprocket carriers, and shock absorber mounts combine lightweight construction with high strength. This enhances driving dynamics and increases the lifespan of the components.
Structural and connection elements
We cast brackets, flanges, and adapters accurately. They absorb high forces and facilitate assembly with clean surfaces.

SBV Stahltechnik: Your partner for investment casting parts in the automotive sector
Processing as specified
We thoroughly examine drawings and 3D data and if required, develop geometry optimizations for optimal investment casting results. This results in mount-ready parts that fit precisely into your assemblies.
Plants in Asia for cost-effective production of TOP parts
Over 100 CNC machining centers and more than 20,000 square meters of production space are available at each foundry location.
Technical consultation
We advise on geometry, material selection, and casting-compatible design. You speak directly with our specialists.
Certified processes
Our production plants are certified according to IATF 16949, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 50001. This means we meet the highest requirements for quality, environment, and occupational safety.
Logistics with planning security
We flexibly align deliveries with your needs, whether it’s call-offs, interim storage, or complete batches. This way, we secure continuous supply and avoid downtime in your production.
Heat treatment in Germany
Our heat treatment increases the surface hardness of stainless steel without compromising corrosion resistance. As a result, the components withstand friction, saltwater, and mechanical continuous stress.
Strengths of our investment casting parts in automotive and two-wheel technology
High durability
The homogeneous microstructure in investment casting ensures uniform stress distribution across the entire cross-section. This makes the parts reliably withstand high torques and dynamic loads over long operating periods.
Temperature resistance
Stainless steels such as 1.4404 or 1.4848 withstand continuous loads at high exhaust temperatures. This permanently protects exhaust systems, valve seats, and housings from material fatigue.
Exact fit
Tight tolerances allow for direct installation in engines and exhaust systems. Ready-to-install parts reduce further processing steps, decrease assembly times, and the functional safety of the assemblies remains consistent.
Economic series production
Investment casting is suitable for small, medium, and large series in the automotive and two-wheel sector. You benefit from consistent parts that we deliver ready for assembly, helping to keep your production costs predictable.

How a project with SBV Stahltechnik proceeds
We accompany every investment casting project from the first contact to the finished delivery. Our goal is an accurate and economically sensible solution that integrates reliably into your processes. The process is clearly structured and coordinated by a dedicated contact person.
Inquiry and initial examination
You send us a drawing and 3D data, ideally with material preference, quantity, and information on the application area. We check the technical feasibility and provide you with an initial assessment.
Consultation and offer phase
We clarify open questions, advise on casting and manufacturing technical design, and select the appropriate stainless steel grade with you if needed. You then receive a non-binding offer with delivery time, tooling costs, and project planning.
Tooling and sample production
After commissioning, a final simulation takes place to ensure an optimal casting process. We create the wax tool and produce first samples for dimensional testing, function evaluation, and approval.
Series approval and production
After your approval, we start series production. The components are cast, mechanically processed, and/or heat-treated as needed, before being packed ready for dispatch after the final inspection.
Delivery as needed
We deliver the finished investment casting parts on call, in specified batch sizes, or as a complete batch. Interim storage in Germany is possible if necessary.
