What is carbon steel casting?

Cast steel is the steel used to cast castings. is a cast alloy.  Cast steel is divided into cast carbon steel , cast low alloy steel and cast special steel.  Casting carbon steel is a cast steel with carbon as the main alloying element and contains a small amount of other elements.  Wire carbon containing less than 0.2% for casting low carbon steel, carbon containing 0.2%~0.5% for casting medium carbon steel, carbon content  

Advantages of carbon steel casting

Carbon steel casting is a very wide range of engineering materials, it has higher strength than ordinary cast iron, plastic toughness and good weldability, compared with alloy steel casing, carbon steel casting in addition to adding silicon, manganese and other deoxidizer does not add alloy elements, the material requirements are not high, low cost, casting process is easy to master.  Compared with forged steel, carbon steel casting can produce very complex steel castings with less processing allowance and higher economic benefit.  The weight of carbon steel parts can vary in a wide range, small pieces have the weight of only a few grams of investment castings, large pieces such as rolling mill frame weight of more than 400 tons, carbon steel production of about 75-80% of all steel casting output.  

Difference between cast steel and carbon steel:

1. Different properties  

Cast steel: Cast steel is a kind of cast alloy, with iron and carbon as the main elements, carbon content between 0 and 2%.  

Carbon steel: carbon steel is an iron carbon alloy with carbon content of 0.0218% to 2.11%, generally also contains a small amount of silicon, manganese, sulfur, phosphorus.  

2. Different characteristics  

Cast steel: 304, 316 cast steel is the most widely used stainless steel, both are austenitic cast steel, non-magnetic or weak magnetic.  And 430, 403, 410 are austenitic - ferritic stainless steel, magnetic.  

Carbon steel: general carbon steel with higher carbon content is the greater the hardness, the higher the strength, but the plasticity is low.  

3. Different classifications  

Cast steel: according to the characteristics of use is divided into: casting tool steel.  Casting tool steel can be divided into casting tool steel and casting die steel;  Cast special steel.  Casting special steel can be divided into casting stainless steel, casting heat resistant steel, casting wear resistant steel, casting nickel base alloy, etc.;  

Cast steel for engineering and structural purposes.  Cast steel for engineering and structure can be divided into cast carbon structural steel and cast alloy structural steel.  Cast alloy steel.  It can be divided into casting low alloy steel, casting medium alloy steel and casting high alloy steel.  

Carbon steel: carbon steel can be divided into three types of carbon structural steel, carbon tool steel and free cutting structural steel, carbon structural steel is divided into engineering construction steel and machine manufacturing structural steel.
