Cast iron is an iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content exceeding 2%.
Its low cost, high wear resistance, and ease of processing make it a fundamental industrial material. Cast iron parts are primarily used in industry and everyday life, with their core benefits being wear resistance, vibration damping, and excellent casting properties.
Industrial Applications
Mechanical Components: Commonly used in the manufacture of engine blocks, machine tool beds, valves, etc., due to their high compressive strength and excellent vibration absorption.
Heavy Machinery: Applications such as pipes, manhole covers, and radiators, which must withstand high pressure or frequent friction.
Industrial Equipment: Applications such as electrical fittings and brake discs require high strength and wear resistance.
Daily Applications
Crafts: Applications such as jewelry and bronze bells utilize their corrosion resistance.
Typical Properties: Carbon content: Typically 2.5%-4%, an iron-carbon alloy.
Material Advantages: Low cost, excellent casting properties, and suitable for the production of complex structural parts.
