Cast Iron

Cast Iron is widely used in machine / mechanical engineering, hydraulics, pneumatics, glass industry, automotive and mold making. Cast iron can be divided into two main groups: Grey/Flake Iron (EN-GJL / GG) and SG/Nodular Iron (EN-GJS / GGG).
Grey iron is used where high rigidity, good machinability, vibration damping, high heat capacity and good thermal conductivity are important. Nodular/SG iron is known for its good elongation, high strength and wear resistance. Nodular/SG iron is the perfect alternative to steel and aluminum.
