Clarifying the Distinction In between Carbon Steel and Cast Steely

[Fowler3]

That's a great question! While each carbon steel and cast steely include carbon as a primary alloying element, they get different properties and applications. Carbon steel is primarily composed of iron and carbon, with varying stages of more alloying elements, while cast iron includes a higher proportion of carbon and oftentimes includes silicon, manganese, and more trace elements. Can anyone elaborate on the key differences amongst carbon steel and cast iron?
