FWD STEEL CASTING

Carbon Steel (ASTM A27, ZG230-450)

The workhorse of heavy industry — tough, weldable, economical.

Carbon cast steel covers the majority of heavy industrial castings: slag pots, machine bases, housings and structural components. We pour all common grades to ASTM, EN, DIN, JIS and GB standards.

GradeStandard / EquivalentTensileYieldTypical Applications
ZG200-400GB/T 11352 (≈ ASTM A27 60-30)≥400 MPa≥200 MPaLow-stress structural parts
ZG230-450GB/T 11352 (≈ ASTM A27 65-35)≥450 MPa≥230 MPaSlag pots, bases, housings
ZG270-500GB/T 11352 (≈ ASTM A27 70-36)≥500 MPa≥270 MPaGears, frames, crossbeams
ZG310-570GB/T 11352 (≈ ASTM A148 80-40)≥570 MPa≥310 MPaGirth gears, high-load parts

All carbon steel heats are LF-refined with sulfur and phosphorus each held below 0.025% (0.020% on request), which dramatically improves toughness and weldability versus unrefined cupola or induction melts.

Standard supply condition is normalized, or normalized and tempered. Charpy V-notch impact testing at ambient or sub-zero temperatures is available where the application demands verified toughness.
