What Is Grey Cast Iron?

Grey cast iron is the controlled casting and cooling of a special iron alloy with high carbon content. It is preferred for final products that require durability, wear resistance, and specific strength characteristics.

Grey and nodular cast iron rods produced by the continuous casting method have been used since the 1960s and today are widely used in the glass industry, automotive, oil refineries, hydraulic parts, gear manufacturing, and general machinery components. One of the main reasons for their preference is their economic advantage, reducing production time and tool wear costs.

The material has a homogeneous structure, dense grain, and uniform hardness. It offers high mechanical strength, strong impact and wear resistance, faster machining performance, and high resistance to hydraulic and pneumatic pressure.

Tool life is longer, resistance to thermal and mechanical shocks is high, and surface hardening heat treatment is easy to apply. Compared with steel, it is about 10% lighter and does not create mold cost.
