Why do Iron Casting Foundries prefer high-quality Ductile (SG) iron for casting – Part 1 ?
To stay with the wave of the growing industrial requirements and technological developments, the major casting companies in Coimbatore are continuously updating their product portfolio to offer optimal value for their clients. This blog will briefly deal with…..
Are you struggling to choose suitable material grades of Ductile Cast Iron?
Ductile Cast Iron’s (SG Iron) material grades differ as per regional standards. In the USA, for instance, the most common material standard is ASTM A356. Mechanical properties like 60-40-18 (tensile strength 414 Mpa, yield strength 276 Mpa, elongation 18%) are common
Is Foundry industry feeling the slowdown pinch post COVID lockdown? – Part 2
While the foundry industry has been ravaged by demand, policy regulation and taxation issues for long, it is to be seen how it will it revive its fortune in the coming months, as the world is facing the ferocity of the second pandemic wave.
Why choose Ductile Iron over Cast Iron? What are the factors involved?
time, attention has shifted to the use of new and enhanced forms of ductile iron, as it is proving itself to be a great alternative. Research after research studies has proved that ductile iron is a better choice than cast iron because it can withstand greater weights and is less brittl
Can Ductile iron replace steel?
Do you know that Ductile iron is often the preferred material for hydraulic manifolds? In any custom-machined manifold and a block of steel, the choice of material has been ductile iron for quite a few decades.
The Strengths of Ductile Iron while Casting Manhole Covers
We will try to elucidate the material used in the manufacture of manhole covers in this week’s blog. Cast iron or steel, as we know, has both advantages and disadvantages. This said it is important for the casting material of manhole covers to have both aesthetic as well as hygienic values
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.
Comparison of Welding Performance of Ductile Iron against Grey Iron
This short blog will cover how Ductile Iron fares in terms of welding performance against grey iron. The welding performance of grey iron and ductile iron is not appreciated.
What is Ductile Iron Hardening Treatment and its Process?
If the ductile iron is subjected to hardening treatment, the surface hardness of castings can be increased, resulting in castings with good abrasive resistance and improved hardness. The usual quenching and tempering treatment results in increased surface hardness from approx
