What's the difference between cast steel chains and cast iron chains?
In short, cast steel chains and cast iron chains are fundamentally different products.
Core Difference: Material
Cast Steel: Primarily carbon steel or alloy cast steel. It is heat-treated to achieve good overall mechanical properties, especially toughness, ductility, and high strength.
Cast Iron: Primarily gray iron or ductile iron. It has very high carbon content (as graphite), making it inherently brittle with almost no plastic deformation capability.
