Advantages of steel castings

One of the advantages of steel castings is the flexibility of design, designers have the greatest design freedom for the shape and size of castings, especially for parts with complex shapes and hollow sections, steel castings can be manufactured using the unique process of core assembly. Forming and shape changes are easy, and the conversion from pattern to finished product is fast, which facilitates fast quotation response and shorter lead times. The perfect design of shape and quality, the smallest stress concentration coefficient and the strongest overall structure all reflect the flexibility and process advantages of steel casting design:
1) Strong adaptability and variability in metallurgical manufacturing of steel castings, different chemical composition and microstructure control can be selected, and adapted to the requirements of various projects; The mechanical properties and use properties can be selected in a large range through different heat treatment processes, and have good welding properties and processing properties.
2) The isotropy of steel casting materials and the overall structure of steel castings are strong, thus improving engineering reliability. Combined with advantages such as weight-saving design and short delivery time, it has a competitive advantage in terms of price and economy.
3) The weight of steel castings can vary in a wide range. The small weight can be only tens of grams of investment precision castings, while the weight of large steel castings can reach several tons, tens of tons or even hundreds of tons.
