Steel casting is a specialized form of casting involving various types of steel. Steel castings
are used when cast irons cannot deliver enough strength or shock resistance.[1]

Examples of items that are steel castings include: hydroelectric turbine wheels, forging
presses, gears, railroad car frames, valve bodies, pump casings, mining machinery, marine
equipment, and engine casings.[1]

Steel castings are categorized into two general groups: carbons steel and alloy steel.[1]

[edit] Steel casting alloys

Alloy steel castings are broken down into two categories: low-alloy steels and high-alloy
steels.[2] Low-alloy steels contain less than 8% alloying content and high-alloy steels have 8%
or more.[2]

This is a table of some steel casting alloys:
