White cast iron has poor machinability, primarily due to its brittleness and difficulty in machining.
Its carbon exists in the form of cementite (Fe3C), resulting in high hardness but low toughness, making it prone to cracking or breakage during processing. Therefore, white cast iron is typically not used directly as a material for machined parts, but rather for casting wear-resistant parts (such as plowshares) or as a blank for malleable cast iron.
How is the wear resistance of white cast iron?
White cast iron is a cast iron material with special properties, and its wear resistance is outstanding in industrial applications.
How is the corrosion resistance of white cast iron?
Ordinary white cast iron has moderate corrosion resistance, while high-chromium white cast iron has excellent corrosion resistance.
Generally, white cast iron is used in wear-resistant parts and chemical equipment components, belonging to conventional cast iron parts. These applications typically do not have high requirements for the performance of the metal material.
