cast steel
Poured iron alloy
Cast steel is steel that has been melted and poured into a mold to create a specific shape, as opposed to steel that is forged or rolled.
This process allows for complex shapes and large components that would be difficult to produce by other methods.
Cast steel combines the moldability of cast iron with the superior strength and toughness of steel, making it valuable for heavy machinery, railroad components, and industrial equipment.
The bridge supports were made of cast steel.
