Discover the Versatility and Strength of Cast Iron in Various Types

When it comes to industrial materials, cast iron stands out for its durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. But did you know that cast iron comes in several types, each with its own unique properties and applications? Today, we invite you to explore the world of cast iron and discover the perfect type for your next project.

One of the most common types of cast iron is grey iron. Known for its excellent compressive strength and vibration damping capabilities, grey iron is ideal for applications like machine bases, automotive components, and structural supports. Its hard, wear-resistant surface also makes it suitable for pump housings, gears, and cylinder liners.

If you're looking for a material with high tensile strength and ductility, ductile iron (also known as nodular iron) is the perfect choice. This type of cast iron has a spherical graphite structure that gives it improved mechanical properties over grey iron. Ductile iron is commonly used in automotive parts, heavy machinery, and construction equipment.

White iron, on the other hand, is known for its extreme hardness and wear resistance. This type of cast iron has a high carbon content and a fine, evenly distributed carbide structure. White iron is ideal for applications like cutting tools, abrasive wear parts, and mill liners.

Malleable iron is another type of cast iron that offers a unique combination of strength, ductility, and machinability. It is produced by annealing white iron to convert its carbide structure into a more ductile form. Malleable iron is commonly used in pipe fittings, valves, and other components that require both strength and flexibility.
