Steel Casting

What is Steel Casting?

Steel casting is a casting form that involves different kinds of steel. Cast steel is being used when cast iron cannot provide the level of strength needed. This is formed by pouring molten steel into a mold. The castings will be molded according to what it needed to be produced.

Advantages of Steel Casting

High dimensional accuracy,good surface and quality

Better corrosion resistance

Less failure rate

Lower cost price, since expensive processing and welding operations are eliminated;

Cheap moulding process;

Complex design without draft angles;

Higher accuracy in comparison to sand casting.

Steel Casting Application

Due to the characteristics of steel castings, almost all industrial departments need steel castings, which are widely used in ships and vehicles, construction machinery, engineering machinery, power station equipment, mining machinery and metallurgical equipment, aviation and aerospace equipment, oil wells and chemical equipment. As for the application of steel castings in various industrial sectors, there may be great differences due to different specific conditions in various countries.
