A typical small-block cast crank is good up to 500 hp, while a 4340 forging can take 1,500 hp. "Billet cranks are similar to forged cranks in that they also start out as a big ingot of steel.

Cast steel is stronger due to the fact that steel is stronger than iron. To make a cast crankshaft, they heat up iron or steel until it is melted then pour it into a mold, the same as with cast pistons.

Due to repair methods and process problems, changes will be caused at the connecting round corner of crank pin, main journal and crank armround, causing local stress concentration. As the crankshaft is made of 45# steel with closed die forging, surfacing welding will also make metallographic texture changed.

Which crankshaft is stronger cast or forged? ›

Forging is the process of heating and pounding metal into a shape. This makes for a more dense piece that is both heavier and stronger than a cast piece. Forged crankshafts are heavier than their cast counterparts, can handle higher loads, and are generally more robust.

With billet, there are no stress riser areas because the grain structure runs parallel to the length of the entire crank. Forgings are stronger than billet in bolts and axles because the metal isn't being stretched and sheared.

Cast crankshafe is one-time shaping process, while forged crankshaft need to be forged many times. And further heat treatment processes are also not the same. From the side of internal organization,the performance of forged crankshaft is more stable than that of cast ctankshaft.
