Comprehensive Guide to Carbon Steel Casting

Carbon steel is a widely used material in which carbon has a big part as the primary alloying element.
The amount of carbon directly influences its strength, hardness, and flexibility. This is what makes it adaptable for different industrial applications.
Carbon steel can be of three types based on carbon content:
- Low-carbon steel – higher flexibility and easier to machine.
- Medium-carbon steel – strength and ductility for structural uses.
- High-carbon steel – superior hardness; good for wear-resistant components.
Casting is one of the most useful ways to produce carbon steel components, mainly for complex shapes and detailed structures.
Specialized Expertise in Carbon Steel Casting
Taiyuan Simis Investment Casting Co., Ltd. has extensive experience in carbon steel casting, making use of methods like investment casting, sand casting, and shell mold casting. Each technique serves different manufacturing needs. This allows flexibility for various applications.
Our investment casting process adds a rapid drying technology. This strengthens casting shells and shortens production cycles. With a strict quality control system, we promise high-precision results for each project.
Custom Tooling and Engineering Support
We design and manufacture custom tooling in-house. This way, we can create castings that precisely match our client’s requirements.
Our engineering team collaborates with clients to refine designs for the best possible performance and manufacturability.
Advanced Shell Construction for Investment Casting
Our silica sol investment casting method makes shell durability better and increases its resistance to high temperatures (breakage is prevented during metal pouring).
With the help of automated shell-building machines, we control each dipping and coating stage with accuracy. This consistency brings uniform shell strength, even for highly intricate parts.
High-Capacity Production for Dependable Supply
With a total annual production capacity exceeding 2,000 tons, Taiyuan Simis can handle all kinds of projects of any scale.
We prioritize quality standards and provide timely delivery. If your project needs high-precision carbon steel castings, contact us today.
