WCB stands for "Wrought Carbon" with Grade B.

there are 3 kind of Grade A,B & C which define the ductility & tensile strength.

Grade B is having very good ductility & tensile strength as compare to Grade A & C

i know answer only for ASTM

Americam Society for Testing and Matreails

The general cast grade is ASTM A216 WCB. There is also likely to be a UNS letter and number code for this but off the top of my head I cannot think what it is.

For info the material is pretty much multipurpose fairly standard low carbon steel casting.

For forgings the typical grade would be ASTM A105

I don't think "WCB" actually stands for anything, at least anymore. Those letters have designated that grade in the specification for many decades. There might have been a proprietary steel before the specification that went by that name, and the letters might have meant something then, but if so it's long forgotten.

There are a couple of other commonly used grades of higher alloy cast steels called WC6 and WC9, so it would seem "WC" might have indicated "cast", with the final character indicating the specific grade, but that is all speculation on my part.
