Why Steel Casting?

There are lots of advantages using steel casting. After steel casting, we can not only improve the mechanical properties, especially strength, but also improve its wear resistance and corrosion resistance,sometimes even change magnetic response or thermal expansion. Steel casting makes designed products much more flexible in dimensions, which is not feasible in other manufacturing methods. Steel castings are produced by melting steel ingots into liquid status and pouring the liquid steel into ceramic shell mold, this allows products cast to shapes when other manufacturing ways can not meet.

Another point of steel is its weldable. The weldability of steel castings made it workable when a individual cast steel component need to work with another metal part. Besides, steel casting can replace welded fabrication parts when the capacity of welding fabrication can not meet the capacity of products.

Due to its reliability and strength, numerous industries rely on steel castings. Industries that use steel castings range from food processing and electronics to oil and gas. Some typical industries that using steel castings include the railroad, construction, drilling, transportation, and mining industries. Main examples of items that are steel casting are: gears, valve bodies, pump castings, mining machinery parts, agricultural wear parts, marine equipment parts, engine cylinder blocker, and railroad truck frames, ect.

Benefits of Steel Casting over Steel Forging

Weldability of steel castings is better than steel forgings.
Complex shapes can be achieved by steel casting, which is not feasible by steel forging.
Steel casting can make parts according to the chemical composition, however, parts by steel forging require a certain material specification.
Products with small quantity can be performed with steel casting, but there is a MOQ on steel forging for its high tooling cost and labout cost.
In certain stainless steels, castings tend to have better corrosion resistance than equivalent forgings because of controlled amounts of ferrite present in castings.
