Cast stainless steels can be divided into two principal classes: those Containing chromium as the only major alloying element and those containing both nickel and chromium as major alloying elements. The latter group of alloys contain between 17 and 30 percent chromium, from 4 to 31 percent nickel and up to 0.3 percent carbon. Manganese and silicon contents are generally about 1 percent and other elements such as molybdenum or copper may be added to develop or intensify certain specific properties(1).
