Founded in 1984, Steloy Castings ranks as the most advanced specialist foundry group in South Africa today – a position achieved through a dedication to quality, customer service and delivery.
The Steloy Castings headquarters and two of the company’s operational divisions are located in Ekandustria, Bronkhorstspruit, 100km northeast of Johannesburg, with a third satellite division in Chamdor, Krugersdorp, 30km west of Johannesburg. From its three foundry complexes, Steloy supplies a full range of stainless steel, super alloyed and carbon steel components to markets as diverse as pump and valve manufacturers as well as the petrochemical, heat treatment, cement, chemical, glass, paper, steel, ferro-alloy, aluminium, rolling stock and power generation industries. Spun tube is produced at South Africa’s only stainless steel centrifugal casting plant, which forms part of the Chamdor plant.
The acquisition of this third foundry has enabled the group to expand its services to the petrochemical sector from static castings such as tube sheets, brackets and fittings (which have been supplied for many years) to the
supply of fully fabricated coils assembled from static castings and spun cast tubes for reformer, ethylene cracking and direct reduction furnaces.
Steloy Castings operates in accordance with well-established quality assurance systems. Both the Cobalt and Tungsten Street plants are SABS ISO 9001:2008 listed, underwritten by SANAS and RvA, while the Chamdor plant has TÜV (Rheinland)
ISO 9001:2008 certification.
2 INTRODUCTION
Steloy Castings’ Cobalt Street facility produces high integrity, high performance stainless steel and alloy castings.
Equipment enables the production of castings ranging from 1kg to 2 000kg. An ARL emission spectrometer ensures compliance with all the relevant grades of materials and enables the foundry to analyse materials where the specification is unknown.
Moulding is carried out on cold box machines for castings up to 30kg fettled mass, or by means of the no-bake process for castings up to 2 000kg fettled mass. A shell moulding facility is used for castings to higher tolerances.A fully automatic LP gas fired temperature heat treatment furnace with temperature recorder, coupled to a water
quench facility, enables the heat treatment of all grades of castings produced in-house. In addition, a fully equipped pattern shop ensures independence from outside services.
As one of the first foundries to receive the ISO 9001 quality award, Steloy Castings is a leader in quality standards and fully conversant with international standards, currently accredited for ISO 9001:2008.
Steloy is currently also the only foundry group in South Africa to be certified by TÜV for the supply of castings with PED accreditation.
3 COBALT STREET PLANT
4 CHAMDOR PLANT
Steloy Castings’ Chamdor facility produces high integrity, high performance stainless steel and alloy castings – both static and centrifugally cast.
Equipment enables the production of static castings ranging from 1kg to 3 200kg. Moulding for static castings is carried out on cold box machines for castings up to 30kg fettled mass, or by means of the no-bake process for castings up to 3 200kg fettled mass. A shell moulding facility is used to produce castings to high tolerances.
Current ranges of the centrifugally cast products are up to 830mm in diameter and up to 5 000mm long. The smaller diameter tubes can be the longer, i.e. 5 000mm long with an outer diameter (OD) ranging from 80mm to 200mm and an inner diameter (ID) as small as 32mm. Centrifugally cast tubes can be supplied in as-cast, partially machined and fully machined conditions. Machining on ODs involve turning while IDs are pull bored (1.6-3.2µm) finish.
Two Shimadzu optical emission spectrometers are utilised to ensure compliance to specified compositions. A fully automatic LP gas fired heat treatment furnace – in conjunction with a
water quench facility – enables the heat treatment of all grades in-house. In addition, a fully equipped pattern shop ensures independence from
outside services.
The Chamdor Plant has TÜV (Rheinland) ISO 9001:2008 as well as PED certification.

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AT ROOM TEMPERATURES
NOTE: Duplex stainless steels have been developed to render increased resistance to Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) – particularly for deep sour wells (CI and H2S) in oil exploration. Other advantages are higher resistance against pitting – and crevice corrosion, general increased resistance to sensitisation and increased yield strength.
ASTM A890 is the specification for Corrosion Resistant Duplex Stainless Steels for general application. ASTM A995 is the specif ication for Duplex Stainless Steels for pressure-containing parts. By virtue of specific requirements to ensure casting integrity – materials and components manufactured in accordance with the l atter specification can be applied in conditions of combined high pressures and corrosion.
ASTM A923 is the specification for standard test methods for detecting detrimental intermetallic phases in Duplex Austenitic/Fe rritic Stainless Steels. It is currently only intended for mill (wrought) products. Future editions will, however, also include A890- and A995 Grade 4A (CD3MN). This specification is intended to ensure freedom of intermetallic phases – which could influence toughness and corrosion resistance detrimentally.

13 CENTRIFUGALLY CAST ALLOYS & PRODUCTS
This method of tube manufacturing has a distinct advantage over static casting due to the extreme gravitational forces present
during solidification in conjunction with relatively fast solidification rates. These produce an extraordinary level of metal
soundness and minimised segregation, both major contributing factors in achieving exceptional metallurgical integrity.
Some discarded (lower density) material can be contained in a thin layer on the inner bore surface of the tube, but is easily
removed via machining, pull boring in particular.
Steloy Castings’ (horizontal) centrifugally cast range consists of the following:
1. Tubes for high temperature and high pressure applications (typically those found in the petrochemical industry)
2. Pipes for high-temperature and high-pressure applications
3. Pipes for corrosion resistant applications
4. Hollow bar and tube for general engineering applications.
1. TUBES FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE AND HIGH PRESSURE APPLICATIONS (REFORMING & CRACKING)
These tubes – particularly reformer, cracking and catalyst tubes – are primarily produced for the petrochemical
industry and manufactured in accordance with the general requirements of ASTM A608. Three major properties
required are creep, scaling and corrosion resistance.
This range is discussed in more detail in the section referring to the petrochemical industry.
2. PIPES FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE AND HIGH PRESSURE APPLICATIONS
(NB. The “high temperatures” referred to here are far lower than those associated with applications requiring tubes
manufactured to A608.)
• ASTM A660 is the standard specification for centrifugally cast carbon steel pipe for high temperature service.
Steel pipe manufactured to A660 is suitable for fusion welding, bending and other forming operations. The
various chemistries of the grades listed are closely related to those of ASTM A216 materials used for
static castings.
• ASTM A426 is the standard specification for centrifugally cast ferritic alloy steel pipe for high
temperature service. This specification contains several grades of ferritic steel. The chemistries of the
grades listed in this specification are closely related to those of the ASTM A217 materials (static castings).
• ASTM A451 is the standard specification for centrifugally cast austenitic steel pipe for high temperature
service. This specification covers austenitic alloy steel pipe for use in high temperature, corrosive or nuclear
service and involves a number of austenitic steels. The chemistries of grades listed in this specification are closely
related to a number of those in ASTM A351 (static castings). Of specific importance is the fact that none of the alloys
listed in this specification has a carbon content in excess of 0.20%. The carbon content is thus much lower than that of the
grades listed in either ASTM A608 or A297.
14 CENTRIFUGALLY CAST ALLOYS & PRODUCTS (continued)
3. FERRITIC/AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL PIPE FOR CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
ASTM A872 is the standard specification for centrifugally cast ferritic/austenitic stainless steel pipe for corrosive
environments.
This specification covers a number of duplex stainless steels. It should be noted that the intended application is for
corrosive environments. Prolonged periods at elevated temperatures will lead to embrittlement.
The chemistries of the grades listed in the specification are closely related to a number of those in ASTM A890
(static castings).
4. ALTERNATIVE TO PRODUCTS USUALLY PRODUCED AS (WROUGHT) HOLLOW BAR
Economy of scale, standardised dimensions and material compositions and minimum order quantities are
often a cause for concern when hollow bar is considered in engineering applications.
Due to the exceptional metallurgical integrity and flexibility in terms of chemistry and dimensions that can
be achieved with spun casting as well as the fact that there are fewer limitations with regard to minimum
order quantities, there are few cases where spun cast tubes cannot be considered a suitable alternate to
hollow bar.
15 CENTRIFUGALLY CAST ALLOYS & PRODUCTS (continued)
Steloy Castings produces a number of products for both direct use as thick-walled
tubes (hollow bar) and indirect use, where tube is cut into smaller sections for use
as cylinders or even rings and bushes.
Although it is a policy of Steloy Castings to produce only in accordance with acknowledged cast
specifications, special provision has been made to accommodate specific customer requirements.
This involves the following:
- The customer provides a mutually acceptable specification, including acceptance criteria.
- Spun tube is produced in accordance with the chemistry of other acknowledged cast specifications but
mechanical properties (implicitly excluded) are subject to mutual agreement. A typical example will be
ASTM A915. Specification ASTM A958, on the other hand, makes provision for tensile properties but
impact properties are excluded.
- Tubes can be supplied in as-cast condition, machined or cut and machined, and with or without heat
treatment.
- Machining can include pull boring of the inner diameter and turning of the outer diameter.

When alloys are cast for the petrochemical industry, two requirements are of paramount importance:
• Corrosion resistance
• Heat resistance
Corrosion resistant alloys are covered under Austenitic Cast Alloys: Corrosion Resistant on page 6.
Distinction is made between static and centrifugally cast product. Heat resistant alloys are cast for
both heat treatment and petrochemical applications. Due to the more expansive application of
these alloys in the petrochemical industry, this will be the main focus of further discussion.
Castings are classified as heat resistant if they are capable of sustained operation while exposed
(intermittently or continuously) to temperatures that will result in metal temperatures of 650°C and higher. Of
paramount interest are:
• Corrosion and scaling resistance at high temperatures
• Dimensional stability, i.e. resistance to warping, cracking and
thermal fatigue
• Resistance to plastic flow, i.e. creep strength
24 CASTINGS FOR THE PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY
25 CASTINGS FOR THE PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY (continued)
PROPERTIES
The role of the various alloying elements can be summarised as follows:
Chromium is primarily responsible for resistance to oxidisation (scaling) and uniform corrosion. This is related to the extremely stable oxide
layer formed by this element.
Nickel promotes an austenitic microstructure, thereby promoting thermal shock resistance and prevention of sigma phase formation.
Micro-alloying elements such as Nb, Ti and Zr are added to enhance creep strength through carbide formation.
It should be noted that creep resistant alloys also contain a significant quantity of carbon, required for solid solution strengthening as well as
carbide formation. Of further importance is the aspect of secondary carbide formation, where carbides precipitate during operation at high
temperatures. Precipitation takes place at operating temperature, within the austenite grains, contributing to strength and creep resistance.
Other alloying elements used, for either solid solution or precipitation strengthening, are Mo, Si, W, Co and R.E.Metals.
Steloy Castings produces a wide range of heat resistant alloys in both static castings and centrifugally cast tubes and pipes.
The current range of heat resistant alloys is the culmination of the application-driven alloy evolution that has taken place in
the petrochemical industry.
ASTM A297 provides – apart from indicating the (application-related) variance in Cr and Ni contents – a reference point for
the structured discussion of alloy development.
pipes.
STATIC CASTINGS
The ASTM A297 specification is intended for general applications (implicitly for static castings). Further development
and modification had to take place, using this ASTM A297 as basis, in order to meet the stringent requirements of the
petrochemical industry.
ASTM A447 – the standard specification for steel castings, chromium-nickel-iron alloy (25-12 class) for high temperature
service – is an example where the industry, designers and producers have realised the limitations of the standard ASTM
A297 gr HH specification. This specification contains a number of appropriate mandatory and supplementary requirements,
all aimed at ensuring sufficient casting integrity and material properties as would be required by the intended application of
(amongst others) petroleum still tube supports and similar applications up to 1095°C.
ASTM A297 gr HK has also been modified to Grade HK 40 (currently listed in ASTM A351). In this case more stringent requirements have been
placed on the % carbon range, while inclusion into A 351 will imply increased assurance of casting integrity.
ASTM A297 gr HP has been modified to Grade HP 45 and although it is not formally listed as such in any of the current ASTM
specifications, it must be regarded as one of the most significant alloy developments for the petrochemical industry. Apart from
forming the basis of the alloy to which all recent micro-alloying additions have been made in order to produce static castings for
supports, bends, hangers, brackets and tube sheets, it also overlaps with the current status quo regarding the majority of
centrifugally cast (spun tube) alloys.
26 CASTINGS FOR THE PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY (continued)
27 CASTINGS FOR THE PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY (continued)
CENTRIFUGALLY CAST PIPES AND TUBES
The production of and specifications for centrifugally cast tubes are discussed in detail under Centrifugal Casting on pages 13
to 15. Some of the specifications, e.g. ASTM A 660, ASTM A426 also refer to pipes for high temperature applications and
could have been included in this section.
The application-driven evolution of spun cast alloys for high temperature applications can be discussed in a way similar
to that of static casting specifications.
The original BS 4534 specification for weldable Cr – Ni centrifugally cast steel tubes and ASTM A608 specification for
centrifugally cast iron-nickel-chromium high-alloy tubing for pressure application at high temperatures can be regarded as the basis
of further application-driven alloy development in centrifugally cast alloys.
The alloys listed in both these specifications reveal the same tendencies as A 297, where application-related variances in the Cr and Ni
contents can clearly be observed. Of specific importance, though, is the fact that grade HK40 is already indicated as such in the
ASTM A608 specification. The whole range of alloys listed in this specification have already – when compared to the A 297
specification – been subjected to intentional limitations of the % carbon range.
Grade HP45 does not yet feature in any of the current ASTM (spun tube) specifications. The tendency regarding further
development, particularly the introduction of micro-alloying elements, is, however, identical to that observed for static castings.
28 CASTINGS FOR THE PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY (continued)
Various international companies are currently producing micro-alloyed HP45. This type of alloy is available under a number of in-house specifications,
all subject to the patent rights/trade marks/privileged information of the various producers. The basic composition, however, remains the same. The
distinguishing aspects lie in the nature and extent of the micro-alloying additions and the
subsequent effect on claimed creep properties.
The major applications for these alloys are reformer and catalyst tubes. Being in a position to
produce certified creep properties is a distinct advantage when design in accordance with API
560 and – more importantly for spun tubes – thickness calculations according to API 530 are
applied.
Steloy Castings is continually testing creep rupture properties of its major creep resistant alloys
to confirm and certify its materials by acknowledged independent laboratories. Of particular
importance is 25Cr35NiNb Micro (Steloy 1.4852 MA) and 35Cr45NiNb Micro (Steloy 1.4889 MA).
Typical creep rupture properties are indicated in the tables that follow.
Alhough the discussed above centred on the development of the HP45 micro-alloyed range of
materials, a number of other generic groups also exist and can be applicable to both static and
centrifugal castings. A concise indication of these groups can be obtained by referring to the
application-driven alloy development chart.

1. Introduction
The design and manufacture of cast components is a complex process requiring a close partnership between designer,customer and foundry to achieve the desired result. The end product has to be clearly defined from the outset in terms ofmaterial standards, integrity levels, quantities and delivery sequence.
Benefits of choosing the casting process include the following:• Greater versatility than other metal-forming processes.• Design flexibility, which allows castings to be produced in complex and concave shapes, to various sectional
thicknesses and with hollow cavities.• It may offer the shortest route to the end product.• Most metals can be cast.• It is the most economical process.
2. Design and specifications
A wide range of international specifications is available to assist and simplify design. With clearly defined castingparameters, any design can be optimised to the best advantage of the customer. Care should be taken to avoid overdesigning or over specifying, which can be costly. Reverse engineering and stress analysis can also be done at this stage.
3. Determination of casting technique
The selected process, design and specification need to marry and complement each other. Aids such as modern simulation programmes, solidification time calculations and trialcastings are used in order to determine the correct casting technique. It is important that this is done before any pattern is made.
Quality levels are pre-set, as quality cannot be inspected into a casting at a later stage.
33 THE CASTING PROCESS
34 THE CASTING PROCESS (continued)
4. Moulding material preparation
Sand of varying grades is used to complement the various processes. The control, preparation, handling and mixing of sand is done to the latest international standards and modern,statistically controlled binder systems are used. Mould feeding aids are used to optimise yields and costs.
5. Pattern making
Patterns should be friendly to the foundry process and extremely accurate and stable to ensure dimensional stability. Patterns can be manufactured by hand or by using three-dimensional machines. It can be made to all sizes, shapes and degrees of complexity, for long or short runs. Materials include metal for shell moulding, soft wood for short-runjobbing moulding and fibre for long runs.
The pattern maker should:• Use the least number of cores (make self-coring).• Give all cores proper supporting prints.• Place cores in the bottom of the mould if possible.• Ensure that cores are not misplaced or inverted.• Use slip core-boxes where possible.• Mount all patterns on boards.
6. Moulding and core-making
A well-defined production control system will direct moulds and cores to the melting process in the shortest time, shortening production cycles by batching for melting and heat treatment.Sand is mixed to stringent, statistically controlled specifications and vibrated and compacted to produce moulds and cores to the highest international standards. To assist withtemperature control, closing and casting take place close to the melting facility. Shell moulding and core-making together with cold-box moulding and core-making complement self-set moulding and core-making. Any combination of these processes can be used to adhere to customer requirements.
35 THE CASTING PROCESS (continued)
7. Furnace charge and preparation
This involves furnace selection and size, maintenance and operation, scrap selection and handling together with alloy control and melting practices. Well formalised and documented,the charging and preparation of the furnace is scheduled and executed with precision. Stringent spectrographic control forms the basis for incoming scrap selection, and cleanlinessand sizing are of paramount importance.
8. Metal melting
Melting takes place in high frequency induction furnaces to international standards. Melting has been standardised into works instructions that are controlled by spectrographicanalysis. Refining and deoxidation is done to works instructions to optimise mechanical properties. Successful melting requires clean steel with the correct chemical composition,deoxidised at the required temperature into the mould. The chemical composition is certified for each casting.
9. Casting
Molten metal is poured into and solidified in a mould with cores to produce the required casting. Casting dimensions depend on mould dimensions as generated by the pattern, materialchemistry depends on the melt, and mechanicals depend on the melt and subsequent heat treatment. Casting integrity depends on the mould, metal, ingate and feeding system.
10. Fettling
Fettling gives the casting its final, finished appearance. If too rough, it looks unfinished, if over fettled, it will look fabricated.
11. Heat treatment
Heat treatment is conducted to promote homogeneity and enhance mechanical properties. The number of heat treatment cycles, heat treatment temperature and the cooling rateafter soaking will be determined by the alloy composition and the required final properties. Cooling rates can vary from a very slow furnace cool to a very rapid water quench but isalso subject to casting geometry.
36 THE CASTING PROCESS (continued)
12. Finishing
This can be done in three stages if required:• Shot blasting to clean the casting of any oxides that may have formed during heat treatment and to ensure an even surface finish.• Pickling (for stainless steel only)• Machining according to a wide spectrum of specifications.Dimensions can be certified at this stage.
13. Inspection and testing
All castings are inspected and tested to ensure adherence to prescribed standards. Methods include:• X-ray examination• Magnetic particle inspection• Dye penetrate testing• Pressure testingAll requirements can be certified.
14. Black casting
Black castings should be properly identified with heat numbers, serial numbers and order numbers. Certification must be available for traceability.
