All You Need To Know About
Carbon Steel in Precision Casting
At Precisionvast, we understand that carbon steel is a primary alloy composed of iron and carbon, often with additional elements like manganese, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus. Our expertise lies in leveraging carbon steel’s high strength, wear resistance, and durability, making it ideal for parts demanding these characteristics. Our precision casting process includes creating detailed wax models of the parts, coating them with a robust ceramic shell, and melting the wax to form a hardened ceramic mold. Molten carbon steel is then poured into these molds, resulting in high-quality, precision-engineered cast components that meet your exact needs.

|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon Content | 0.05%-0.25% | 0.29% to 0.54% | 0.55-0.95% |
| Tensile Strength | 400 – 450N/mm2 | 700 – 850N/mm2 | 800 – 1000N/mm2 |
| Elongation | 15% | 11% | 5-8% |
| Hardness (HB) | 120-180 | 200-300 | 250-400 |
| Characteristics | Offers a range of tensile properties through heat treatment. Heat treatment can provide high surface hardness, wear resistance, and good core ductility. | More durable, flexible, and robust. Good tensile strength, ductility, and impact resistance. Easy to machine in a softened state. | Strong with good shape memory, making it particularly useful for spring manufacturers. |
| Applications | Commonly used as engineering steel in low to medium strength applications like brackets, casings, and connecting rods. | Often used where ductility, good impact, and fatigue strength are needed. Examples include levers, chassis parts, and hydraulic machinery. | Used in high tensile applications, high carbon steel alloys can withstand wear and are suitable for heavy-duty applications like cranks and pin shafts. |

Low carbon steel, or mild steel, is an iron-based alloy with less than 0.25% carbon. Known for its low strength and softness, it includes most ordinary and some high-quality carbon structural steels. Used mainly for engineering parts without heat treatment, some parts require heat treatment for wear resistance.
Cast carbon steel sand castings are made using the sand casting process with cast carbon steel. Cast steel is preferred when high strength is required, unlike cast iron. Molten steel's fluidity is lower than cast iron, so designs shouldn't be too thin or complex. High silicon improves fluidity.
WCB, short for Weldable Cast B-Grade Carbon Steel, is a cast steel primarily alloyed with carbon. Cast steel refers to iron-based casting alloys that don't undergo eutectic transformation during solidification. WCB is commonly used for producing valves and fittings due to its weldability and strength.
The shell molding casting process, also called pre-coated resin sand casting, hot shell molding, or core casting, uses pre-coated phenolic resin sand. This sand is more expensive than green sand and furan resin sand and cannot be recycled.
Cast carbon steel, known for strong mechanical properties and good casting performance, is widely used in custom parts. Carbon steel, low alloy steel, and tool steel castings are used industrially. These materials can be heat-treated to enhance yield and tensile strength, hardness, or ductility based on application needs.
Carbon alloy includes iron-carbon alloys with minimal elements like Si, Mn, P, and S. Based on carbon content, carbon steel for casting is categorized into low, medium, and high. Globally, cast carbon steels are classified by strength. Chemical composition, except P and S, is determined by required mechanical properties.
Carbon Steel Industrial Applications
At Precisionvast, we specialize in three main types of carbon steel—low, medium, and high carbon steel—each tailored for specific industrial applications such as machinery manufacturing, heavy equipment, automotive parts, aerospace, and railway projects. Our investment casting process primarily uses medium and low carbon steels. Low carbon steel, known for its excellent ductility, strength, and wear resistance, can undergo heat treatments like quenching and tempering. Our low carbon steel options, including 1010, 1020, and WCB, are renowned for their formability and enhanced surface hardness through carburizing, making them ideal for various demanding applications.
