Cast steel and carbon steel

Crafting with metal is a broad category because there are so many kinds of metal to choose from. There are many kinds of steel, in which the cast steel and carbon steel are the two most common kinds. Jiayun is recognized in the industry for manufacturing and providing steel goods of exceptional quality. They hope to educate you about the differences between these two kinds of steel to help you make the right choice for your needs! 

Cast steel and carbon steel consists of two primary ingredients: iron and carbon. Though they are made in different ways. Cast steel is a type of steel that is produced by melting iron with other material, chrome or nickel, for instance. This molten blend is then placed into a mold, a specially shaped container. Once poured in, the cooling and hardening process occurs, resulting in solid steel.

The Strengths and Weaknesses of Cast Steel vs. Carbon Steel

However, carbon steel does have its own benefits. Its flexibility is also greater than that of cast steel, which makes it more malleable and bendable. This property of carbon steel will also make it a material of choice for the manufacture of tools and other smaller items needing accurate shapes. It hulls less and doesn’t shatter as easily when you work it into whatever shape you need. 

So now, you ask yourself, which steel type should you use for your job? The answer may vary depending on what you need it for! If you need something that can handle extreme heat and take a beating, casting wax steel is probably your best solution. It is very tough and able to withstand rough conditions.
