Carbon Steel Casting in Pakistan
Lahore Casting pours Carbon Steel (AISI 1045, 1050) to order at Mominpura Road, Lahore, Pakistan, by sand casting from 1 kg to 500 kg. Medium carbon steel, around 0.45-0.50% carbon. Strong enough to be heat treated, plain enough to stay affordable - the default when a part must be steel but does not need alloying. Every heat is checked on an OES spectrometer before pouring and a material test certificate is issued on request.
Grades and properties
| Grades poured | AISI 1045, 1050 |
|---|---|
| Carbon | 1045: 0.43-0.50%. 1050: 0.48-0.55% |
| Tensile strength | 570-700 MPa normalised |
| Heat treatment | Normalise, or harden and temper for more strength |
| Weldability | Fair - preheat is needed |
When to choose it
Use Carbon Steel when: General engineering steel parts: couplings, spacers, gear blanks, sprockets, brackets that carry real load.
Choose something else when: The section is heavy and must harden right through - use alloy steel, which hardens deeper.
