Composition and Grades of Carbon Steel Casting
Composition and Grades of Carbon Steel Casting What is carbon steel casting? Carbon steel castings are classified based on their carbon content: Low Carbon Steel (Mild Steel) – 0.05% to 0.30% Carbon Good ductility and weldability Used in structural components, automotive parts, and machinery Medium Carbon Steel – 0.30% to 0.60% Carbon Balanced strength and toughness Common in gears, axles, and railroad components High Carbon Steel – 0.60% to 1.0% Carbon High hardness and wear resistance Used in cutting tools,
