This chapter describes the definitions, designation, chemical composition, room-temperature properties, elevated-temperature properties, and corrosion resistance of cast high alloy steels and stainless steels. In addition, the corrosion resistance of cast corrosion-resistant alloys is also covered.

This chapter describes the physical properties of steels used for castings. The properties covered include density, modulus of elasticity, Poisson's ratio, shear modulus, thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, specific heat, thermal diffusivity, electrical resistivity, and magnetic properties.

With typical alloy systems, casting is often the most convenient method by which to produce components. This is true for stainless steels, both for corrosion-resisting and for heat-resisting applications. This chapter discusses stainless steel casting alloys and their metallurgy. Foundry methods are discussed to the degree they are specific to the stainless alloys.

This chapter presents the factors affecting machinability. It provides a detailed discussion on the machining of steel castings. These include microstructure effects, hardness and strength effects, turning, face milling and drilling, casting surface effects, and weld area effects. The chapter also presents an overview of machining practices.

This appendix contains tables listing the composition of austenitic, ferrite, martensitic, precipitation-hardenable, and duplex stainless steels and of Alloy Casting Institute heat- and corrosion-resisting casting alloys.

This chapter presents the criteria, methods, and benefits of cast-weld construction.

This chapter defines low-temperature and cryogenic steels and describes their alloy classifications and their ambient and low-temperature properties. These steels include ferritic carbon and low alloy steels, martensitic low alloy steels, martensitic high alloy steels, and austenitic high alloy steels.

Steel castings are produced in thousands of designs for different applications. They fill needs in many industries, including transportation, construction machinery, earthmoving equipment, rolling mills, mining, oil and gas exploration, and power generation. This chapter touches upon the variety of applications for which steel castings can be supplied and the ranges of casting size and complexity. Photographs in this chapter provide an understanding of these applications, their size and complexity, and the types of cast steels produced.

This appendix is a collection of tables listing the chemical compositions of wrought ferritic steels; wrought stainless steels; cast corrosion- and heat-resistant alloys; wrought iron-, nickel-, and cobalt-base alloys; cast nickel- and cobalt-base alloys; oxide-dispersion-strengthened alloys; and iron-, nickel- and cobalt-base filler metals.

This appendix provides tables listing alloy compositions and standard designations and common unit and hardness conversion factors.
