The magnetic properties of grey cast iron differ broadly from low permeability and high coercive force to high permeability and low coercive force Whatever these changes may be, they primarily rest on the grey cast iron’s microstructure. The addition of alloying elements to achieve the needed magnetic properties is done by a change of the… Continue reading Know about the magnetic properties of Grey Cast Iron

Tips for foundries and casting manufacturers to save time & money
This blog presents a compelling case for foundries and casting manufacturers to take concreate action methods to save time and money during the processes of product development and quality control (QC).The most important step in the opportunity for cost and time saving include reducing production downtime by accelerating control quality.
Emerging trends for Metal casting – Part 2
Look into Part 1 of emerging trends, In an era where hi-tech forces are emerging in the metal casting industry, we discuss more potential trends in the area of metal casting in the future.
Emerging trends for Metal casting – Part 1
traditional industries are going ‘digital’ or changing the way they do business, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 and its spiralling effects on the economy.
Understanding Ductile Iron: Properties, Benefits, and Applications
This week we attempt to present a generic overview of ductile iron. Ductile iron is also known as nodular iron or graphite iron. It was first patented in 1948, but it was only after a decade of intense technological research and development that its application as an engineering material was proved indispensable.
What Are Green Sand Castings?
Green Sand castings are castings that are made of green sand moulds or wet sand. Don’t be surprised if we tell you that the sand is neither green in colour nor the mould uses any greensand or greenish colour sandstone. Rather, the sand is termed ‘green’ because of the moisture content present in it such as green wood before the sand dries out when molten material is poured into a mould.
What are the Differences Between Cast and Billet? – Part 2
hope by now you may have understood that aluminium is cast. If you need to create an aluminium casting, you should first develop a mould of the part that is to be created. The mould is formed using sand as the moulding material and the pattern is then pushed into it which leaves the impression of the part that is to be cast.
What are the differences between Cast Iron and Wrought Iron?
There are many of us who think the term “cast iron” encompasses early iron work, or that which was always ‘wrought’—or perhaps both may be supposedly true.
What are the environmental benefits of Ductile Iron Pipe?
Ductile Iron Pipes are built to last forever, and have withstood the vagaries of weather and natural calamities for several hundreds of years.
What are the Differences Between Cast and Billet? – Part 1
The differences between cast and billet are in their manufacturing processes and use. Casting involves pouring molten metal into moulds, allowing for complex shapes. A billet is metal that is cast into a bar and later machined. VR Foundries, casting manufacturers in Coimbatore, specialize in these processes.
