Gray Iron casting

With its wide range of mechanical properties, Gray Iron is suitable for many engineering applications, especially where intricacy of design is required. Gray Iron is commonly used when ductility is not a factor.

Typical Application:
General Machinery, Stock Fittings, Automotive Parts, Valve Bodies, Railroad Accessories.

Advantages:
Cost, Excellent Machining, Dampening Capacity (ability to absorb vibrations), Good Wear Characteristics (self lubricating) , Compressive Strength.

Detailed Product Description
Product Name: Cast grey iron round (general fittings)

Nodular iron casting, Ductile Iron casting

Many of the engineering properties of steel can be realized with Ductile Iron. It has the ability to be cast in heavier sections and can be used to produce larger castings than Malleable Iron. Ductile Iron has replaced forging, weldments and steel castings in an ever increasing number of applications.

Typical Applications:
Valves, Pump Bodies, Gears and Rollers, Spring Hangers, Suspension Parts, Wheel Hubs, Bearing Caps, Pole Line Hardware, Universal Joints, Threadless Connectors and Flanges, Various Automotive and Agricultural Items.

Advantages:
Higher Tensile Strength, Less Deflection Under Load Conditions, No Straightening Required In Most Instances, No Prob.
