Cast Steel

Also for your application - from 100 grams up to 100 tons!

Cast steel contains only very low percentages of carbon (< 0.75% C).
Cast steel can be produced with a range of properties. Alloys are selected to suit the application. Most steels are weldable (under specific conditions).

The mechanical properties of cast steel are entirely determined by its chemical composition and heat treatment. All cast steel parts are heat-treated after casting in a furnace. This treatment is part of the standard production process and is important to obtain the desired mechanical properties.

If we divide the cast steels on the basis of the alloy composition, we can distinguish the following types of cast steel:

  • Plain Carbon steel
  • Low-alloy cast steel
  • High-alloy cast steel
  • Heat resistant cast steel
  • Wear-resistant cast steel (e.g. manganese steel - Hadfield steel)
  • Stainless cast steel

Products in cast steel: 

  • Lock gate parts (bearings,wheels,...)
  • Cable wheel
  • Turbine casing 
  • Pump casing
  • Wheels
  • Bearing housing
