Abstract

This publication provides guidance on the specification, properties, and procurement of carbon steel and stainless steel structural castings. Castings enable complex, high-strength designs with tight tolerances and high-quality finishes, making them ideal for architecturally exposed connections. It interprets European standards for design and fabrication while emphasizing collaboration between foundries and construction teams to ensure quality. Case studies illustrate the successful use of structural steel castings in recent projects.
