Advantages of Grey Iron Casting

Advantages of gray iron castings

At present, the fast development of the machinery industry promotes the gray cast irons technology in recent years. Thus, the technology of gray cast irons has been very mature, which can cast as small as kilograms or as large as dozens of tons. Gray iron castings are more and more widely used, mainly because of its many advantages:

Grey iron casting is a casting type of iron casting, formed from melton pig iron without any auxiliary raw materials, with advantages of good shock absorption and high wear resistance.

High dimensional accuracy and small machining allowance

The machining allowance of each part can be: 0.4mm for cavity surface; 1.5mm for parting surface, and 3mm for back and outer surfaces, due to the ceramic precision casting process.

Consistent performance

During the process of steel casting, the non-metallic raw material will be deformed & extended for the final steel casting shape. So, for the steel casting parts, there are some differences in mechanical properties in different directions. This situation is called “anisotropy”.

But grey iron casting item is manufactured without non-metallic and any auxiliary raw materials, the performance of gray iron castings in all directions is consistent.

Better high-temperature hardness

According to the test to H-13 mold steel from Latrobe Steel Company, we can know the following information: With the same initial hardness, the hardness of the cast steel was slightly lower than that of the forged steel at the operating temperature below 200℃.

Tests on the cast and forged h-13 mold steel by Latrobe Steel Company showed that, with the same initial hardness, the hardness of the cast steel was slightly lower than that of the forged steel at the operating temperature below 200℃. However, the hardness of cast steel is higher than that of forged steel above 200℃.

It is worth noting that the advantage of this high-temperature hardness is more significant with the increase of temperature. At 650℃, the hardness value of cast steel is about 8HRC higher than that of forged steel.

Better abrasive resistance

When casting is formed, the machining allowance of the cavity surface is very small, so as to keep the good crystal structure of the surface layer, thus the gray iron casting has better abrasive resistance.

Defects of Grey Iron Casting

Defects of gray iron castings

Once the machining surface of the casting is loose and shrink, it becomes a waste product.

Looseness may first be caused by an unreasonable structure. Looseness, shrinkage and shrink hole are generated on the part with larger wall thickness or even on the concave corner, because the heat is dissipated through the corresponding mold boss or mud core, so the heat dissipation is poor, the metal solidification is relatively slow.

The comparison test of the Y-shaped test block with 30”, 60″ and 90″ opening angle shows that the outer shrink hole at the concave corner decreases with the increase of the opening angle, and the shrinkage decreases at the same time, thus the looseness increases.

A technically reasonable structure is one of the important conditions for obtaining dense castings.

But for casting, the structural designer takes the operational requirements into consideration first, then the rationality of the process.

Especially the shape of machine tool castings and engine castings is too complicated to ensure the rationality of the process in the structure.

Process of Grey Iron Casting

What Application of Grey Iron Casting?

The application of the gray iron casts is usually in automobile engine cylinders, gears, speed wheels, brake discs and drums, and large machine tool bases.

HT castings are gray iron castings, whose graphite form is in the form of flakes, so metal matrix structure elements exit in the grey cast iron with a fragmented state, the effective area of the load is reduced.

In total, the gray iron casting item has features of low comprehensive mechanical properties, but better vibration damping, wear resistance, casting, and cutting machinability.

So grey cast iron is mainly used for manufacturing some based parts needing strong pressure, such as beds, boxes, bases, guide rails, etc.

Grey Iron vs Cast Iron?

Both ductile iron casting and grey iron casting are iron casting, and applied in different machinery parts according to their performances – wear resistance, shock absorption, plasticity and toughness etc.

Grey Cast Iron vs Aluminum

The Differences between Cast Iron and Cast Aluminum

Due to the different materials, the distinction between cast aluminum and cast iron is quite obvious. Today, Yide Casting will share the differences with you, so that you can choose the right material for your castings.

The difference in weight

The specific gravity of cast aluminum is lighter than cast iron. The density of cast iron is about 7.8 g/cm3, while the density of cast aluminum is about 2.7g/cm3. The weight of cast aluminum parts of the same size is obviously lighter.

The difference in volume

The specific gravity of aluminum is lighter. At the same time, the structural strength of aluminum castings per unit volume is less than that of iron castings.Thus the volume of aluminum castings with the same strength is larger than that of iron castings. In the case of the same volume, the strength of cast aluminum is lower than that of cast iron.

The difference in cost

The current market price of cast aluminum is much higher than cast iron.

The difference in heat dissipation

The thermal conductivity of cast aluminum parts is more than three times that of cast iron parts. It has been widely used in radiators and heat exchangers in industry and cooking utensils.

The difference in corrosion resistance

The surface of aluminum castings has a corrosion-resistant oxide protective film, which protects aluminum castings from corrosion. Therefore, aluminum castings are also widely used in medical equipment, refrigeration equipment, oil and gas pipelines, petroleum machinery, etc. The corrosion of iron castings is far less than that of aluminum castings.

The difference in casting performance

The casting performance of aluminum is higher than that of cast iron. Aluminum is easy to cast and can cast rough castings with complex shapes.
