Global Iron And Steel Casting Market Definition

Iron and steel casting is a metal shaping technique in which molten iron or steel is poured into a pre-set mold with a negative imprint of the desired shape and allowed to harden. It is one of the oldest manufacturing technologies, and it is typically used for complicated items that are difficult to produce using other methods.

Casting is used to make casings, shells, mountings, propellers, and other heavy and complicated iron and steel elements. Following the solidification of the metal, the cast is frequently machined to achieve the necessary surface quality, size, and tolerances. Construction, automotive, power plants, and other heavy sectors all require cast iron and steel parts.
