How parts in Cast Stainless CF8M (316) are priced
For machining we size the nearest standard bar or plate of Cast Stainless CF8M (316) that encloses your part and multiply its weight (density 8 g/cm³) by the current price per kg. Machining time scales with this material's machinability. Castings in this alloy are priced on near-net casting weight — never on bar or block stock.
