Product Description

Ductile iron casting as found wide acceptance and competes favourably with steel such that its use in engineering has increased in recent times as while grey cast iron and malleable cast iron has fallen in popularity as other materials such as plastics have found favour. The properties of grey cast iron depends on the distribution, sizs and amount of graphite flakes, and the matrix structure. These factorys are in turn, influenced mainly by the manufacturing conditions, chemical composition, solidification time and rate of cooling in he mould. Grey cast iron exhibit low to moderate strength, low modulus of elasticity, low notch sensitiviy, high thermal conductivity, moderate resistance of thermal stock , and outstanding castability.
