What is the difference between cast steel and cast iron?
Foundry is one of the most common technologies for producing objects - specifically castings - from metals, their alloys and other materials. Metal is the basic material used in the construction of structures, machines, devices and tools. After all, it is a durable substance that is resistant to damage and has good machinability. Although the metal itself is very hard, it can be machined with alloying additives to give it ductility. And so, when iron is combined with carbon altogether, we get cast steel and cast iron.
What are the differences between cast steel and cast iron? What are their properties, advantages and applications? We invite you to read the article from our Foundry Knowledge Base.
