Austempered Ductile Iron – ADI Castings
Austempered ductile iron, also known as ADI, refers to the ductile cast iron after process of austenitizing ductile iron (850℃-950℃) and then quickly placing it in a salt bath (232℃-450℃) for isothermal transformation. In addition, with the addition of sufficient amounts...Read more -
Cast Iron Castings VS Carbon Steel Castings
Cast iron castings have been used widely in industries and machineries since the modern foundry estabilished. Even in current times, the iron castings still play an important role in trucks, railroad freight cars, tractors, construction machineries, heavy duty equipment....Read more -
Ductile Cast Iron Mechanical Properties
Ductile cast iron, which is also called nodular iron or spheroidal graphite (SG) cast iron, is not a single material but is part of a group of materials which can be produced to have a wide range of properties through control of the microstructure. Nodular cast iron obta...Read more -
Malleable Cast Iron
Malleable cast iron is obtained by pouring molten iron with a certain chemical composition into white blanks and then treated by annealing. Graphite in malleable cast iron is mainly flocculent and sometimes a small amount of pellets. The main matrix structure of malleabl...Read more -
Chrome Molybdenum Cast Steel
Chromium-molybdenum cast steel is widely used in industrial fields with relatively high mechanical properties. The addition of molybdenum to chromium steel can increase the strength of steel castings without having a significant impact on the impact toughness of cast ste...Read more -
Brief Introduction of Wear-Resistant Cast Steel
Among a wide variety of casting alloys, wear-resistant cast steel is a very widely used alloy steel. Wear-resistant cast steel mainly improves the wear resistance of steel castings by adding different content of alloying elements, such as manganese, chromium, carbon, etc...Read more -
