Carbon steel casting
Category:Steel casting
Carbon steel casting has high strength, plasticity and toughness. Common grades include Q195, Q215, Q235, Q255, Q275, etc.
Product Description
Carbon steel casting is used in heavy machinery to manufacture parts that are subject to heavy loads, such as rolling mill stands, hydraulic press bases, etc. It is also used to manufacture more important mechanical parts with complex shapes and high requirements on mechanical properties, and it is difficult to form by forging and other methods in the process.
Carbon steel refers to iron-carbon alloys, generally the carbon content is between 0.0218% and 2.11%. As the carbon content is higher, the strength of carbon steel is higher, but correspondingly, the plasticity of the product will decrease. Usually there are elements such as silicon manganese in carbon steel. These different types of small amounts of elements will have different effects on the strength and hardness of carbon steel products.
Cast carbon steel generally has a relatively low production cost, gradually has high strength and toughness, and has good plasticity, and can be used to manufacture parts that bear large loads, such as rolling mill stands for heavy mechanical clocks, hydraulic press bases, etc. It can also be used to manufacture parts that are subjected to high forces and shocks, such as wheels, couplers, bolsters and side frames on railway vehicles.
