What is Steel Casting?
Steel Casting is a process where the solid metal objects are filled with liquid steel. This liquid steel flows into the mold or the void and forms a shape. Steel also harder than iron to be casted. Steel has lower shrinkage rate and higher melting point. Steel has poor mechanical composition but that is compensated with its good chemical compositions. Rise of industrialisation and growth of the end user industries specifically automotive industry has led to the growth of the steel casting. Geographically, Asia Pacific is the biggest market of the steel casting.
The market study is broken down by Type (Carbon Steel Casting, Low-Alloy Steel Casting and High-Alloy Steel Casting), by Application (Automotive, Industrial Machinery, Pipe, Fittings and Valves, Power and Electrical and Others) and major geographies with country level break-up.
