The followings are the common ASTM
standards for the cast steel materials. Steel Foundry in China could
produce the steel castings according to these standards.
The most used cast steel processes in China steel foundries, include
sand casting, lost wax investment casting by water glass, lost wax
investment casting process by silica sol.
