What is the difference between the carbon content of carbon steel castings?

Nowadays, with the continuous development of industry, the demand for carbon steel castings in the market is increasing. They are generally used for mechanical equipment with higher strength, which can improve the performance of the equipment during use and ensure the operating status of the equipment. But in During the production process, due to different processes, there are many types of castings. Let's introduce the differences between low carbon, medium carbon and high carbon in carbon steel castings.

Low carbon has low strength and limited application range. During the production process, some manganese, vanadium, titanium, vanadium and other elements are added, which can effectively improve the strength of castings.

Under normal circumstances, medium carbon steel has a slightly higher carbon content and enhanced strength, but poor welding performance. Generally, the higher the carbon content, the thicker the steel plate, and cold cracks are prone to occur during welding.

Among carbon steel castings, high carbon steel is a relatively common one. Due to its high carbon content, its welding performance is poor, but it needs to be cooled gently during the welding process to reduce the formation of cracks.
