Know about the magnetic properties of Grey Cast Iron
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
What are the Applications of Grey Cast Iron: A Brief Note
When it comes to the tensile strength of cast iron, toughness and plastic are lower compared to cast steel, though it has a significant compressive strength like that of cast steel. Cast iron is also generally used in materials having the worst mechanical properties, while the matrix of mechanical properties of Grey Cast iron also… Continue reading What are the Applications of Grey Cast Iron: A Brief Note
How do VR Foundries stand unique in Grey & Ductile Iron castings?
It is widely considered that Chinese manufacturers have great muscle power in terms of manufacturing capacity, the potential of market demands, cheap labour and management costs. But India is not far behind, and VR Foundries – Best foundries in India
How do Iron Castings Improve Product Quality?
The casting process has been around for several centuries, yet this question pops up time to time. At VR Foundries, the Coimbatore casting foundry, we ask this question. Do you think you can make every little thing as a casting? Well, if it is true, then there are almost a dozen ways to go about it at VR Foundries.
What are the differences between Malleable Iron & Cast Iron?
A broad range of alloys are available under the name ‘iron’; these alloys are classified according to the percentage of carbon content
Grey Iron Castings – A Short History
Cast or Grey Iron is easily the earliest cast iron product made in China around the 5th century BC. The first few applications of cast iron were simple pots, weapons, plowshares, and shots. And further between the 9th and 4th centuries BC, man developed malleable iron casting. It is believed that the Chinese shared their… Continue reading Grey Iron Castings – A Short History
Processes involved in the manufacture of Grey Iron Castings
In this rather short blog let us discuss the Manufacture of Grey Iron Castings & three different grey iron casting processes: Die Casting, Centrifugal Casting, and Ductile Iron Casting. Read a short history of Grey Iron Casting! Centrifugal casting is usually a method employed to cast cylindrical parts and components giving outer surfaces that are… Continue reading Processes involved in the manufacture of Grey Iron Castings
A Brief Note on the Properties of Grey Cast Iron
Grey Cast Iron, which is generally an alloy of Carbon and steel, is manufactured by re-melting pig iron. There are appreciable amounts of Silicon, Manganese, Phosphorus, and Sulphur in it. Grey Cast Iron is popular because they are low-cost and can make complex structures. Let’s see what makes Grey Cast Iron the most popular of… Continue reading A Brief Note on the Properties of Grey Cast Iron
