Carbon Steel Casting Alloys

Carbon steel is a steel alloy containing carbon as the main alloying element. Cast alloy steels have been developed to operate under conditions requiring greater pressures, wear resistances, and higher strength with increased toughness and hardenability. The mechanical properties of this alloy are determined by the percentage of carbon present; the higher the percentage, the harder and stronger the alloy becomes through heat treating. Because they can be processed to obtain a wide range of properties, carbon steels are found in a variety of applications.

Both mid carbon and low carbon steel are used for investment casting. Mid carbon steel provides good ductility, strength and wear resistance. It can also be hardened and tempered through heat treatment. Low carbon steel is easily shaped but cannot be strengthened by heat treating. As an alternative, carburizing can be used to increase the alloy&#;s surface harness.

Precision Investment Casting Using Carbon Steel 

Engineered Precision Casting Company, Inc. provides investment cast parts using over 75 different alloys, including carbon steel. We pour sizes up to 16 x 16 in. with weights up to 80 lbs. and specialize in tight tolerances and complex designs. Our air-melt alloys are controlled using a master heat system with dedicated lines for ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, and we offer several grades that meet MIL, AMS and ASTM specifications.

Considerations in selecting a grade for your carbon steel casting project include application as well as machinability, weldability, strength requirements, formability, and corrosion resistance. If you need assistance selecting the right alloy for your precision investment casting project, please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Low Carbon Steel Casting

Low carbon steel contains lower levels of carbon content and is known for its ductility, weldability, and machinability. It is softer and has a lower tensile strength than other steels and is not suitable for heat treatment. Carbon steel casting is typically used for automotive and construction applications including fasteners, bolts, shafts, rods, pins, assemblies and more.

We provide the following low carbon steels for investment casting:

Mid Carbon Steel Casting

Mid carbon steel contains medium levels of carbon content and is known for its wear resistance. It is harder than low carbon steel and able to be strengthened using heat treatment. Mid carbon steel investment casting alloys are commonly used for military and defense applications including engine components, couplings, crankshafts, aircraft tubing and firearms.

We pour a range of mid carbon steel alloys, including:

Need help selecting rod for cast steel

i'm not sure what kind of electrode it is, but there is one you can use that has nickel in it. nickel is kinda soft and works well w/ cast iron. which brings up another question: is it cast iron? or cast steel? if it's cast steel, the -C3 will work good. if it's cast iron, try to find a welding rod specifically for cast iron. you can find out if it's cast iron or cast steel by using a grinder. grind on something you know is steel and see how many sparks come off of it. cast iron sparks a lot less than steel. and preheat sounds good too.
