STEEL TYPES
Carbon Steel—Steel in which carbon is the principal alloying element. Commonly referred to as steel, straight carbon steel, plain carbon steel or AISI-SAE 1000 series steel.
Low Alloy Steel—Steel limited to a total alloy content of 8%. It can be heat treated to higher levels of hardness and strength. These steels are the least expensive to manufacture and account for the largest tonnage of steel castings produced.
High Alloy Steel—Steel alloys with more than 8% alloy content and superior corrosion, heat and wear resistance. The two primary alloying elements of this steel are chromium and nickel.
Manganese Steel—A low strength, high-ductility, wear-resistant material used in demanding applications to avoid unexpected fractures. It also can be work-hardened from an initial hardness of 240 BHN to more than 500 BHN.
Corrosion-Resistant Steels— Also commonly referred to as stainless steels, this group contains a minimum of 12% chromium or chromium and nickel. Applications include chemical processing and power generation equipment located in severe environments, such as saltwater.
Heat-Resistant Steel—Used in temperatures exceeding 1,200F (649C) and as high as 2,400F(1,316C), heat-resistant steel is compositionally similar to corrosion- resistant steels with higher carbon content (between 0.3% and 0.6%), which gives it higher rupture strength.
ABOUT KEVA
Keva Casting is a professional casting company that focuses on Construction, Machinery, Automobile, Hardware, Pipeline and many other industries.
We provide top quality products with the best service based on our complete production chain including our own mold design, advanced production techniques, and full management of the supply chain. Keva Casting has two factories located in Zhucheng, China's Shandong province.
We use "shell molding", which is a new technique that has been developed in recent years.This new technique has simplified production procedures and reduced air pollution compared with traditional sand casting and investment casting. Shell making and core making are faster to ensure production in enormous quantities. The dimensions and surface finishing are satisfactory for all kinds of industrial requirements. Besides supplying our own formwork & scaffolding systems, our casting products also supply OEM services in various industries.
