Industries like oil & gas, chemicals, and marine require materials that are strong, durable, and corrosion-resistant. Duplex stainless steel casting is one such solution that provides excellent strength and long life.
Sunflame Technocast Pvt Ltd is a well-known manufacturer of sand casting and shell moulding casting in Gujarat. We manufacture high-quality components using duplex stainless steel, stainless steel (SS), mild steel (MS), and steel alloys.
In this blog, we will explain duplex stainless steel casting, its benefits, applications, and why Sunflame is the best choice for casting solutions.
What is Duplex Stainless Steel?
Duplex stainless steel is a special type of stainless steel. It combines two types of properties: austenitic and ferritic stainless steel. This makes it strong, durable, and corrosion-resistant.
Industries that need high-strength and rust-proof materials use duplex stainless steel casting for making machine parts, pipelines, and industrial components.
Sunflame’s Expertise in Sand Casting & Shell Moulding Casting
At Sunflame Technocast, we provide top-quality casting solutions using two advanced methods:
1. Sand Casting
Ideal for Large and Heavy Machine Parts – Sand casting is a highly efficient method for producing big and heavy industrial components that require durability and strength. This process ensures that even the most complex and oversized parts are manufactured with precision.
Cost-Effective for Bulk Production – When it comes to high-volume manufacturing, sand casting offers a budget-friendly solution without compromising quality. It allows businesses to produce multiple units at a lower cost compared to other casting methods. That makes it an economical choice for mass production.
Widely Used in Automotive, Industrial, and Manufacturing Sectors – Due to its versatility and reliability, sand casting plays an important role in industries such as automotive, heavy machinery, and general manufacturing. It is used for producing engine components, industrial machinery parts, and structural elements. That ensures superior performance and long-lasting durability.

2. Shell Moulding Casting
Delivers a Smooth and Highly Accurate Finish – Shell moulding casting is known for its ability to produce components with a refined surface texture and precise dimensions. This advanced casting method ensures minimal surface imperfections. That reduces the need for additional finishing processes.
Perfect for Intricate and High-Precision Components – Industries that require complex shapes and fine detailing benefit greatly from shell moulding casting. The process enables the creation of high-precision parts with consistent quality, making it an excellent choice for intricate designs and tight tolerances.
Widely Used for Valves, Pumps, and Engine Components – Due to its exceptional strength and precision, this casting technique is ideal for manufacturing critical mechanical parts.
Critical mechanical parts such as valve bodies, pump casings, and engine components. These parts require superior durability, dimensional accuracy, and resistance to high pressure and temperature conditions.

We use duplex stainless steel, SS, MS, and steel alloys to manufacture strong and durable castings.
Benefits of Duplex Stainless Steel Casting
Using duplex stainless steel casting offers many advantages:
- High Strength – Stronger than regular stainless steel lasts longer.
- Corrosion Resistance – No rusting or damage in harsh conditions.
- Cost-Effective – Uses less nickel and molybdenum, reducing material cost.
- Low Maintenance – Long-lasting with minimal repair needs.
- Good Weldability – Easier to shape and join compared to other steels.

Sunflame’s Quality Assurance & Testing
At Sunflame Technocast Pvt Ltd, we follow strict quality control measures to ensure that our duplex stainless steel casting and other alloy castings meet the highest industry standards.
Our advanced testing facilities include impact testing at -196°C, heat treatment qualification, and spectrometer testing using the Spectromaxx model for accurate material composition analysis.
We also conduct chemical analysis and Positive Material Identification (PMI) to verify raw materials, ensuring strength, durability, and precision in every casting.
Our mechanical testing includes a 200 KN Universal Testing Machine (UTM), hardness testing (Rockwell, Poldi, and Brinell), and microstructure examination (ASTM E 562 & ASTM A 923) to assess material strength and structure.
We also ensure radiation-free materials and perform in-house non-destructive testing (NDT), including liquid penetrant testing (LPT), magnetic particle testing (MPT), radiography testing (RT), and ultrasonic testing (UT). All are conducted by Level II certified experts as per EN and ASNT Level III standards.
To enhance corrosion resistance, we conduct ASTM A262 and ASTM G48 tests for pitting and crevice corrosion analysis. These rigorous quality checks ensure that our duplex stainless steel casting solutions offer superior strength, precision, and longevity. Which makes them ideal for industrial, automotive, and heavy machinery applications.
