1. Different in nature
Cast steel: Cast steel is a kind of casting alloy. Iron and carbon are the main elements. The carbon content is between 0-2%.
Carbon steel: Carbon steel is an iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content of 0.0218% to 2.11%. Generally, it also contains a small amount of silicon, manganese, sulfur, and phosphorus.
2. Different features
Cast steel: 304, 316 cast steel is currently the most widely used stainless steel. Both are austenitic cast steel, non-magnetic or weakly magnetic. The 430, 403, and 410 are austenitic-ferritic stainless steels with magnetic properties.
Carbon steel: Generally, the higher the carbon content of carbon steel, the greater the hardness and the higher the strength. But the plasticity is lower.
3. Different classification
Cast steel:
According to the characteristics of use:
1) Cast tool steel. Cast tool steel can be divided into casting tool steel and casting mold steel.
2) Casting special steel. It can be divided into cast stainless steel, cast heat-resistant steel, cast wear-resistant steel, cast nickel-based alloy.
3) Cast steel for engineering and structure. It can be divided into cast carbon structural steel and cast alloy structural steel.
4) Cast alloy steel. It can be divided into cast low alloy steel, cast medium alloy steel and cast high alloy steel.
Carbon steel:
According to purpose, carbon steel can be divided into carbon structural steel, carbon tool steel, and free-cutting structural steel.
Carbon structural steel is divided into engineering construction steel and machine manufacturing structural steel.
