The Differences Between Gray Iron Casting and Ductile Iron Casting
Ductile Iron Casting Pump Housing The graphite in the gray iron casting organization is in the form of flakes, and the graphite in the ductile iron casting organization is in the form of spheres. Organizational differences lead to huge differences in their performance Gray iron casting has high brittleness and good vibration damping performance. It is mainly used to produce a variety of bases with low strength requirements and mainly bear compressive stress. The ductile iron casting has a high strength, which is comparable to medium carbon steel. And it has a certain degree of plasticity and good toughness. It is often used to make some workpieces with high toughness requirements and complex shapes. Ductile iron casting generally can be strengthened by heat treatment, while gray iron casting generally cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. Compared with gray iron casting, ductile iron casting has an absolute advantage in strength. The tensile s...
