Differences between cast steel, cast iron, and carbon steel
Thread Content
Hello everyone, I’m a beginner and have a question: are the terms \"cast steel\", \"cast iron\", and \"carbon steel\" referring to the same type of material? When the material of a centrifugal pump is mentioned as cast steel, isn’t that also a type of carbon steel?
Cast steel and cast iron, carbon steel: Cast steel is steel that is produced by casting; it can be either carbon steel or alloy steel. It has poor castability, toughness similar to that of ordinary forged and rolled materials, but good weldability； Cast iron: Has a high carbon content, good castability, but poor toughness and weldability ；
