Casting Materials
Choose from hundreds of grades of metal across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. All materials are certified and traceable to meet your high standards for the castings.
Casting Materials by Process
Investment Casting Materials
One of the biggest advantages of investment casting is the great adaptability of various metals. We offer over 50 types of metals for this process and are open to customizing materials for specific applications. The most popular material in YTD is stainless steel, almost take 50% of our annual output.

Sand Casting Materials
Sand casting has the most applicability for almost any metal, as long as it won't react with the sand itself. This is thanks to the wide variety of molding sand. You only need to choose the desired materials, and the rest is handled by our casting engineer and network.

Key Material Consideration for Casting
- Operating conditions: Consider the part’s service environment, including exposure to heat, corrosion, moisture, wear, or repeated loading, as these conditions directly affect material selection.
- Mechanical properties: The material should provide the required strength, hardness, toughness, and durability to ensure the casting performs reliably in its intended application.
- Casting process compatibility: The selected material must suit the casting process, part geometry, and quality requirements to support stable production and consistent casting quality.
- Machinability: Material choice should also account for post-casting machining needs, especially for parts requiring tight tolerances, fine surface finishes, or additional secondary operations.
