Stainless steel architectural castings are made from stainless steel base material and manufactured through precision processing for building interior and exterior applications. QD is a professional stainless steel foundry.
Core Features & Advantages
Durability & Corrosion Resistance
QD uses high-quality austenitic stainless steel. It effectively resists external corrosion from acid rain, salt spray, and industrial pollutants.
High Strength & Lightweight
QD provides customized solutions. We achieve lightweight designs. The high strength of stainless steel allows the use of thinner sheets. This reduces the overall building load. It maintains strength while optimizing material usage.
Aesthetics & Design Versatility
QD offers various surface treatment options. These include mirror polishing, brushed finishing, etching, sandblasting, electroplating, and water plating. We also support custom surface treatments and colors.
Eco-Friendliness & Easy Maintenance
QD’s stainless steel is 100% recyclable. Its smooth surface resists dirt buildup. Daily cleaning is simple. It offers
Main Application Scenarios
Elevator Cars
Stainless steel decor is used for elevator interior panels, door frames, and control panels. It enhances aesthetics and provides wear resistance and easy cleaning.
Lobby Decor
Stainless steel is widely used for entrance door frames, wall cladding, ceilings, and reception desks. It creates a modern and upscale atmosphere.
Interior Details
Kick Plates: Stainless steel kick plates are wear-resistant and easy to clean. They are ideal for high-traffic areas.
Kitchen Countertops & Sinks: They utilize the material’s hygienic properties, corrosion resistance, and high strength. This meets the cleanliness and durability demands of kitchens.
Other Architectural Applications
Curtain Walls & Roofs: The stainless steel structural system for point-supported glass curtain walls is now well-established. Duplex stainless steel is used in large transportation hub facades. It balances strength and appearance.
Public Buildings & Special Shapes: This applies to public facilities like rail transit stations, stadiums, and theaters. Stainless steel easily creates curved surfaces and unique shapes. It meets special decorative needs.
Selection Considerations
When choosing stainless steel architectural castings, you must consider material type, cost, and standards. Here are QD’s key recommendations for material selection:
Material Type Selection
- Austenitic Stainless Steel: Types 304 and 316L are commonly used for coloring and decoration. 304 offers good cost-effectiveness for general environments. 316L contains molybdenum, providing stronger corrosion resistance. It suits coastal or high-pollution areas.
- Duplex Stainless Steel: It combines high strength with good corrosion resistance. It is suitable for large public projects and complex structures.
QD Suggestion: We can recommend the most suitable material based on your project environment and budget. We also provide samples for testing.
Cost and Standards
Stainless steel building structures have higher initial costs. However, their exceptionally long service life and low maintenance costs make them more economical over their entire life cycle. It is important to follow relevant technical standards (such as GB/T, ASTM) to ensure products meet specifications.
QD Advantage: Our stainless steel products strictly adhere to both domestic and international standards. They are also certified under an ISO quality management system.
Design and Installation Support
Complex projects require professional design and installation guidance. We provide full-range support—from design consultation to online video installation guides.

FAQ
1. Why are stainless steel architectural castings more durable than aluminum alloy or regular steel?
The chromium oxide passivation film on stainless steel self-repairs, providing continuous corrosion protection. Aluminum alloy oxidizes easily, and regular steel requires additional coatings. QD uses premium stainless steel to further extend service life.
2. What surface treatment options does QD offer?
We provide mirror polishing, brushed finish, etching, sandblasting, and colored electroplating, among others. Custom treatments are available based on your design needs.
3. Which stainless steel type is suitable for coastal areas?
We recommend 316L stainless steel. It resists corrosion from chloride ions effectively. QD’s 316L products are specifically designed for high-salt environments, ensuring long-term performance.
4. Can QD customize special-shaped or curved architectural castings?
Yes. We have advanced processing equipment and a technical team. We support custom complex shapes, including curved surfaces and hollow-out designs.
5. Are daily maintenance costs high for stainless steel architectural castings?
No. The smooth surface is easy to clean. Generally, just wipe with water or a neutral detergent. QD provides maintenance guides to help you maintain them efficiently.
6. Which international or domestic standards do QD’s products comply with?
Our products meet GB/T, ASTM, and ISO standards. They also pass relevant certifications. The quality is reliable.
