Substitute for ASTM A148 steel
Substitute for ASTM A148 steel
(OP)
Hello,
I am looking for a material substitute for ASTM A148 (130-115) cast steel for a prototype I will be building. I am not ready to invest for a casting quite yet and would like to know what is a good alternative to the original casting steel.
Thanks

Why should you look for a substitute and
Which properties are important to your project.
It seems that a wide selection is already available:
from the description of the ASTM A148 Spec one sees that:
This specification covers carbon steel, alloy steel, and martensitic stainless steel castings that are to be subjected to higher mechanical stresses than those covered in Specification A 27/A 27M.
1.2 Several grades of steel castings are covered, having the chemical composition and mechanical properties prescribed in Tables 1 and 2.

Yield stress and hardness are important.
