The Various Industries that Use Carbon Steel
Castings

Casting Exporters Steel castings are a
commonplace element in manufacturing industries.
Likewise, carbon steel castings in India are an
equally demanded component. It is an iron-based
ferrous alloy that holds a carbon content of
about 0.75 percent. This indicates that the
tensile strength, durability, dimensional
stability, and performance capabilities of the
carbon steel castings are incredibly more than
simple iron (gray iron, ductile iron, and
malleable iron) goods. Depending upon the type of
mechanical work expected to be completed using
devices made from carbon steel, different
industries use different compositions of the
same. The following list gives a detailed account
of the manufacturing industries that use carbon
steel
3
Low Carbon Steel
As the name suggests, low carbon steel is the
simplest and cheapest form of carbon steel. It
has a carbon content of about 0.05 - 0.25, as a
result of which it is exceedingly malleable and
soft to be used in heavy work industries.
However, after thorough processing, it can be
made to acquire a hard surface, abrasion
resistant, and excellent ductility. As per their
capabilities, low carbon steel is used across the
following industries

Household Projects
Construction of houses, offices, public
buildings, etc. is complete without brackets. And
these self-same brackets are manufactured using
low carbon steel.
Pipe and Fitting Industries
Casings of plumbing businesses and engine pipes
are made out of low carbon steel to ease the
passage of fluids through them.
5
Medium Carbon Steel
The carbon density in medium carbon steels
usually ranges between 0.29 - 0.54. Thus, they
are significantly durable, pliable, and possess
good tensile strength. Its endurance towards
shocks and vibrations and improved ductility make
it a better alternative to low carbon steel.
Considering its properties, Casting Exporters in
India are suggested to the following industries
6

• Aerospace and Spacecraft
• Launching rockets and satellites bear a huge
  amount of load as well as thrust as they suspend
  from the land. In the same way, airplanes and
  helicopters are also under immense pressure while
  taking a flight. Hence, to keep them light on
  weight and increase their endurance towards
  atmospheric shocks, air-frame parts made of
  medium carbon steel are used in it.

• Turbine Manufacturing
• Hydraulic Machinery is required to be strong as
  well as light for producing the amount of energy
  desired. Carbon steel thereby makes for the best
  choice as it allows a freedom of structure to
  engineers and facilitates the energy
  transfer/generation process. The easy
  manufacturing process for the different shaped
  and sized turbine fans also help in designing the
  turbines instantaneously.

High Carbon Steel
It is the best form of Investment Castings
Manufacturers that is available for use to
manufacturing industries. It has about 0.55 -
0.95 of carbon content and hence it can
withstand the testing temperature, pressure,and
moisture conditions. Its high tensile strength is
also an attribute that makes it resistant to
abrasion and internal wear during operation. The
machines that use high carbon steel as a
structural element can be enumerated as follows

• Automobiles and Two Wheelers
• Crankshafts are an important component of cars
  and bicycles. They are made of carbon steel as
  they operate under varied pressure ranges.

Duplex Steel casting has been making a name for
them in the international market. Their high
quality and refined properties have helped them
etch a name for themselves in the manufacturing
business. Additionally, their dynamic range of
capabilities also acts as a boon for companies
that are struggling with heavy machinery. Low
cost of maintenance, efficient output, and
promising active life are just a few more reasons
why carbon steel is taking over machine
manufacturing rapidly.
