It is easy to give a rough cost of a custom casting, but very difficult to provide the exact cost before we analyze the drawings and detailed requirements. Because when we calculate the cost per kilogram of steel casting, it is a engineering and professional work and we should be responsible for the offered quotation.
Carbon Steel Lost Wax Investment Casting from Chinese investment casting manufacturer. The carbon steel cast by investment casting could be divided into low carbon steel, medium carbon steel and high carbon steel. The chemical composition and mechanical properties of the carbon steel castings will be indicated on the testing reports issued by our professional quality control department.
