Carbon Steel Investment Castings
Carbon Steel Casting
Over the years we have produced a wide range of net-shape investment casting parts using low alloy and mild steel materials.There are several properties of carbon steel that make it a popular material for producing investment cast products. The material is cost-effective, readily available, strong, possesses good wear resistance, and is easily machined. For these reasons, several grades of carbon and low alloy steel are widely used.
Applications of Carbon Based Alloy Investment Castings
As mentioned earlier, carbon steel investment castings are largely chosen for various applications in several industries. These include automotive, military, oil and gas, mining, and commercial to name a few. Example carbon steel castings are as follows:
-
Cranks
-
Handles
-
Brackets
-
Firearm components
-
Housings
-
Valves
-
Gears
-
Vanes
-
Nozzles
-
Bi-Pods
Carbon Alloy Investment Casting Capabilities
- We use modern melting methods to produce carbon steel investment castings with consistent hardness and strength.
- We also perform secondary operations such as machining of critical surfaces and threaded holes and can provide anti-corrosion properties of the parts using surface treatments like plating or other coatings as required. Carbon steel cast parts are also commonly heat treated to improve their ductility, strength and other mechanical properties
- Our team consists of experts who have extensive experience working with a wide range of carbon steels.
