Characteristics and applications: It is a pearlite (content greater than 65%) type ductile iron with high comprehensive performance, medium strength, medium plasticity and toughness, good wear resistance, vibration reduction and casting processability, and its performance can be changed by heat treatment. It is mainly used to manufacture various power machinery crankshafts, camshafts, connecting shafts, connecting rods, gears, clutch plates, hydraulic cylinders, etc.
The production method and chemical composition of ductile iron are determined by the supplier, and the chemical composition of ductile iron is not used as the basis for casting acceptance.
