Applications
Carbon steel EN 10293 GE200 is used for cast hubs, bushes, covers and housings in general machinery, automotive equipment and handling machinery. Other cast components used in this material family include supports, brackets, frames and connecting parts. Typical settings include industrial, agricultural, construction and railway equipment, as well as machinery replacement and maintenance.
Pressure-retaining, low-temperature or lifting duties require their own component specification.
