Abstract
The effects of casting variables and alloying elements on the fluidity of thin wall cast stainless steels were investigated. Melts were poured into the sand molds to produce thin wall test castings. The length of it was 245 mm and the thickness varied at the interval of 0.5 in the range of 1.6 to 2.6 mm. For the same casting condition, the fluidities of austenitic stainless steel, ferritic, precipitation hardenable and martensite ones were better in the order. The higher the pouring temperature, the shorter the pouring rate and the better the fluidity were. The fluidity was increased with the addition of Cr and decreased with W and Nb.
