Stainless Steel Investment Casting with SBV

Series-ready precision solutions from a single source

SBV Stahltechnik delivers stainless steel investment castings that perfectly combine complex geometry, series quality, and economical production.
Our casting solutions are developed in proven collaboration with a long-standing joint venture in China and Thailand, supervised and quality assured from Germany.

Why investment casting with SBV?

Investment casting is particularly suitable for applications where:

  • Geometrically demanding shapes (e.g., cavities, flowing transitions) are required
  • Traditional methods (machining, forming) reach their limits
  • Functional details should be integrated rather than assembled
  • High volumes with reproducible dimensional accuracy are needed
  • Media- or temperature-resistant stainless steels are demanded

SBV supports each project with technical consulting, feasibility analysis, and a dedicated contact person. Our customers receive no standard products, but individual solutions – cast, machined, heat-treated, and delivered just-in-time.

Technological edge in detail: At SBV, you get more than the standard

Whether it’s housings with organic structures, flow-optimized impellers, or high-strength functional parts. We make your component castable and produce it fully machined and ready for use if desired.

Material variety and most precise casting technology

We cast austenitic and ferritic stainless steels as well as nickel-based alloys, under atmosphere or in vacuum, depending on requirements. Selection is made together with our material experts.

Dimensional accuracy & quality assurance

Our production complies with the guidelines VDG P690 and P695 (levels 1 & 2). This allows us to achieve tight tolerances and consistent series quality – documented and reliable.

Top-level mechanical processing

We handle complete mechanical processing in our plant:

5-axis CNC milling and twin-spindle turning/milling centers, flat and round grinding, thread processing and surface finishing

Own hardening shop in Germany for full control

We use a specialized process for stainless steel components – for improved surface hardness with simultaneous corrosion protection.

Asian production with German project management

Our foundries in China and Thailand work according to coordinated standards. SBV takes on complete project management, technical communication, and logistics – for maximum transparency and on-time delivery.

Flexible logistics solutions with SLAs

We supply series customers according to agreed framework plans – on call, with interim storage in Germany, or as complete delivery worldwide.

Project process at SBV

Inquiry & initial evaluation

A drawing and/or CAD model is sufficient – we check feasibility, material selection, and castability, including evaluation of the required tolerances, in close consultation with our customers.

Consultation & offer

Technical clarification, material consulting, and casting optimization – from this we create a reliable offer including tooling costs, delivery time, and processing options.

Tool construction & prototypes

Upon commissioning, we start with tool manufacturing and initial samples for dimensional inspection, if necessary, with initial sample test report (EMPB). Alternatively, small series or prototypes can also be produced without tools using 3D printers.

Series production & processing

Casting, demolding, mechanical processing, surface finishing, and heat treatment – all from a single source.

Delivery & logistics

Series delivery according to framework contract, call-off, or one-time delivery. On request with buffer storage near the customer and individual packaging.
