Application characteristics of different types of cast iron materials in custom casting, such as gray cast iron, ductile iron, and

In custom casting, there are unlike grades of cast iron that can be employed to produce a wide range of products. PERENNIBRIT®), i.e., gray cast iron, nodular cast iron, and the like. There are different type of materials that the cast iron used; and we'll see various cast iron materials for your custom casting. For custom casting, the application properties of these materials are examined.

Adaptable, high damping material for castings to your own design.

Greiwe Taber tell me that gray cast iron is a versatile material often used in custom casting projects for its superior damping characteristics. Damping is the ability of a material to absorb vibration, which can be very desirable where noise and vibration are not wanted. Damping of vibrations :Gray cast iron can effectively dampen vibrations, which makes it suitable for custom casting applications including engine blocks, machinery parts and brake drums.

Great for custom pouring of high strength with good flexibility.

Ductile iron is also a type of cast iron material which is great for any custom casting job that requires high strenght and ductility. Strength is the amount of force a material is able to handle and resist before it is deformed or breaks (peels apart), while ductility indicates the extent a material can be stretched or flexed or compressed before it breaks. Never asked for such a soft steel,sent two,returned one one broken during set up DON 'T RECCOMEND. Ductile iron is ideal for high temperature, high pressure applications like gears cranks, and hydraulic valve bodies I would not place much trust in these things.

Reputable for wear resistance and hardness in custom casting applications.

is a cast iron material in which the matrix is of the type used in custom castings specifically for its wear resistance and toughness. Wear resistance is the material’s ability to be ground away by the opposing metal while toughness is the ability of a material to deform and absorb energy without breaking. has excellent wear resistance, which is useful for making custom casting molds for pump bodies, valve bodies, and hydraulic cylinders.

A versatile, malleable process material for cast-to-shape precision parts.

Ductile Iron is a ductile and strong relative to gray cast iron castings yet easy and machinable to machine- hence the name Ductile Iron. Machinability is calculated as the relative ease or difficulty with which a material may be machined using certain machine tools. Cast Iron for Machinability Ductile iron has some of the best machinability of all materials, so it’s ideal when you are looking to execute a precision part with tight tolerances or complex geometries for a custom casting.
