What is actually the difference between cast and rolled plates?

In industries such as mold and special machinery manufacturing, cast plates are highly popular due to their potential for weight reduction. They are particularly well-suited for machining and offer a price advantage due to their shorter manufacturing process. On the other hand, rolled plates, with their special characteristics and higher strength, provide ideal properties for rugged applications such as in vehicle and shipbuilding, as well as general mechanical engineering. Discover the versatility of these materials and their role as drivers for innovation in the industry!
