Cast steel is a ferrous alloy with a maximum carbon content of approximately 0.75%. Steel castings are solid metal objects produced by filling the void within a mold with liquid steel.
Steel and iron are two of the most common materials used in the manufacturing industry.
Forged vs. Cast products undergo different processes and methods that give them varying levels of strength.
Sand castings can be readily produced in nearly any ferrous or non-ferrous alloy.
Heat treatment of castings is principally used to adjust the physical, and now and again compound, properties of the cast composite.
In 2021, the total output of China's castings reached 54.05 million tons, with a year-on-year increase of 4.0%, and an average increase of 5.3% in two years.
