WCB / LCB Carbon Steel

WCB is the most widely specified carbon steel casting grade for valve and fitting applications. LCB provides equivalent properties with guaranteed low-temperature impact toughness down to -46°C, making it suitable for cold-climate and cryogenic installations.

  • WCB: General purpose, -29°C to 425°C
  • LCB: Low temperature, -46°C to 340°C
  • WCC: Higher strength variant of WCB
  • Good weldability and machinability
  • Cost-effective for high-volume production
