Carbon steel ke sehlopha sa tšepe e nang le k'habone e le karolo ea mantlha ea alloying le karolo e nyane ea likarolo tse ling tsa lik'hemik'hale. Ho ea ka dikahare tsa k'habone, tšepe e entsoeng ka carbon e ka aroloa ka tšepe e tlaase ea carbon, tšepe e bohareng ea carbon le tšepe e phahameng ea carbon. The carbon content ea low carbon cast steel e ka tlase ho 0.25%, ha carbon content ea medium cast carbon steel e pakeng tsa 0.25% le 0.60%, le carbon content ea high carbon cast steel e pakeng tsa 0.60% le 3.0%. Matla le ho thatafala ha tšepe ea khabone e eketseha ka keketseho ea khabone.Cast carbon steel e na le melemo e latelang: theko e tlase ea tlhahiso, matla a phahameng, ho tiea ho betere le polasetiki e phahameng. Cast carbon steel e ka sebelisoa ho etsa likarolo tse jereng meroalo e boima, joalo ka liteishene tsa tšepe tse rolling le litsi tsa hydraulic press ka mechini e boima. E ka boela ea sebelisoa ho etsa likarolo tse tlas'a matla a maholo le tšusumetso, joalo ka mabili, li-couplers, li-bolster le liforeimi tse mahlakoreng holim'a likoloi tsa terene.
