Industries that use gray iron castings include: agriculture, construction, automotive, construction,...

Water glass casting is very similar to investment casting (i.e. lost wax), but is particularly suitable for larger castings and is less expensive to produce. The process provides a surface finish and dimensional accuracy far superior to sand casting, and more complex shapes can be achieved. In addition to steel, alternative materials such as iron and SG iron can also be cast using this...

What is ductile iron?Ductile iron is a durable, fatigue-resistant metal due to its spherical graphite structure. Ductile iron was first patented in 1948 and is today's version of cast iron. Like cast iron, modern ductile iron contains small pieces of graphite that slightly alter the properties of the iron. What is the difference between ductile iron and cast iron?The difference between...

Dirty, oxidized or otherwise unfinished material is undesirable for a number of reasons. Materials covered with rolling chips, dirt, and other debris are often unsightly. Oxidized materials can cause problems during manufacturing, such as welding or machining. Applying the coating to an unclean material can result in a lack of adhesion. Sharp burrs and edges can cause tears. For these reasons...
