Iron castings VS Steel castings


ď‚— Iron and Steel are the two metals that are commonly

used for metal casting. ď‚— Cast iron has a carbon content that is more than 2%.

Whereas, cast steel has less carbon content. ď‚— Cast iron and cast steel are more or less similar in

their chemical properties. However, they vary in their physical properties.


Iron casting

Pros:  Good casting properties  High machinability  Good wear resistance  Good vibration damping  High corrosion resistance  High heat resistance


Cons:  Low tensile strength  Less elongation properties  Expensive production


Steel casting Pros:  High flexibility  Suitable for a wide range of chemical composition

of other metals  Can be used for making complex shapes  Short delivery time  Suitable for a wide range of working conditions


Cons:  Low wear resistance  Low mobility  Low shake suction  Bad machinability  Expensive then cast iron
