Excellent Mechanical Properties

High Strength and Toughness: Tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation meet or exceed standards (such as ASTM and ISO), allowing it to withstand high loads and impact.
Excellent Hardness and Wear Resistance: Suitable for abrasive environments (such as mining machinery and gears).
Uniform Performance Distribution: Consistent mechanical properties across all parts, with no localized weak spots.

Precise dimensional and geometric accuracy

Low tolerances: Meet drawing requirements, reducing subsequent processing costs.
Clear contours: Detailed edges, corners, holes, and other details are intact, free of deformation or collapse.
Surface finish: Low roughness (e.g., Ra ≤ 12.5μm) reduces machining allowances.

Dense and uniform internal structure

Low defect rate: Free of shrinkage cavities, pores, slag inclusions, cracks, etc. (detectable by X-ray and ultrasonic testing).
Fine grain structure: Achieved through optimized casting processes (such as controlled cooling rate and the addition of refiners).
Uniform chemical composition: No segregation, consistent distribution of alloying elements.

Excellent surface quality

Free of surface defects: no sand buildup, cold shut, wrinkles, or scale.
Suitable for coating/heat treatment: The surface is easily carburized, quenched, and other treatments.

Excellent weldability and machinability

Crack-free welds: Proper carbon equivalent (CE) control prevents weld cracking.
Easy to cut: Moderate hardness minimizes tool wear.

Stable Environmental Resistance

Corrosion Resistance: Alloy steels are selected for specialized environments (such as seawater-resistant Mn-Cu steel).
High/Low Temperature Resistance: Oxidation-resistant at high temperatures and toughness at low temperatures (e.g., impact energy meets standards at -40°C).

Best Use For Steel Castings

Steel castings are used in the following applications:
Construction machinery: load-bearing components (such as gears, bearing seats, and track shoes) for excavators, cranes, and bulldozers.
Mining equipment: Wear- and impact-resistant parts such as crusher rollers, mining buckets, and elevator components.
Metallurgical equipment: Rolling mill frames and blast furnace hoppers.
Hydropower equipment: Turbine runners, guide vanes, and main shafts, among other components requiring corrosion and fatigue resistance.
Railway equipment: Locomotive bogies, couplers, and brake system components.

How Shengrong Ensure Product Quality

1. Design Stage Control
Rational structural design: Avoid sudden changes in wall thickness and sharp corners, and use rounded corner transitions to reduce stress concentration.
Processability Review: Ensure that the casting design meets casting process requirements (e.g., draft angle, shrinkage allowance).
2. Raw Material Control
Metal materials: Strictly control chemical composition (e.g., carbon equivalent, impurities) to ensure the purity of the smelted material.
Smelting Process: Control the melting temperature and deoxidize and degas (e.g., use argon refining) to avoid inclusions and residual gases.
3. Process Control
Mold/Mold Shell Quality: Ensure mold accuracy and surface finish, and uniform sand compaction.
Gating System Design: Properly arrange the gate, riser, and chiller to ensure sequential or simultaneous solidification.
Gating Temperature (too high can cause sand sticking, too low can cause cold shutoff).
Gating Speed (avoid turbulence that causes air entrainment).
Cooling Rate (control grain size and microstructure uniformity). Special Processes: Advanced processes such as low-pressure casting and lost foam casting are used for complex parts.
4. Production Process Monitoring Real-time Testing: Thermocouples are used to monitor the melting temperature, and spectrometers are used for rapid composition analysis.
Environmental Control: Humidity and temperature affect the properties of the molding sand and must be maintained stable.
Operational Specifications: Standardized operations are implemented (e.g., cleaning loose sand before assembly and ensuring proper heat preservation after pouring).
5. Inspection and Defect Analysis
X-ray/ultrasonic testing for internal defects (porosity, shrinkage).
Penetrant testing for surface cracks.
Destructive Testing: Mechanical testing (tensile strength, hardness) and metallographic analysis are performed on random samples.
Defect Traceability: A defect classification database (e.g., slag inclusions, pinholes) is established to analyze the root causes and provide feedback for improvements.

Gray cast iron is a broad term used for a number of cast irons whose microstructures are characterized by the presence of flake graphite in the ferrous matrix. Such castings often contain 2.5% to 4% carbon, 1% to 3% silicon, and some additions of manganese ranging from 0.1% to 1.2%.

Grey Cast Iron - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

 

Normally, grey iron will be cheaper than ductile iron, and ductile iron will be cheaper than malleable iron. As for the same type of cast iron, the low and middle grades will have the same prices, but high grades will cause higher production costs.

A cast iron skillet can turn grey due to a few reasons, most commonly because the seasoning (a layer of polymerized oil) has been worn away or burned offThis can happen from using high heat, acidic foods, or harsh cleaning methods. The grey color reveals the bare iron underneath, which is more prone to rust and sticking. 
 
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
  • Seasoning:
    Cast iron cookware relies on a layer of polymerized oil (seasoning) to create a non-stick surface and protect it from rust. 
     
  • Burning Off Seasoning:
    High heat, especially when cooking with certain oils, can degrade the seasoning, causing it to turn grey or even flake off. 
     
  • Stripping Seasoning:
    Harsh cleaning methods, like using abrasive cleaners or steel wool, can also strip away the seasoning. 
     
  • Exposure to Moisture:
    Bare cast iron will rust easily if exposed to moisture. 
     
To restore the grey skillet to its original black, seasoned state, you’ll need to re-season it. This involves cleaning the skillet, applying a thin layer of oil, and baking it to polymerize the oil. 
 
Here’s a simplified process for re-seasoning:
  1. 1. Clean the skillet:
    Remove any loose rust or carbon buildup with a scrub brush or steel wool if necessary, and then dry it thoroughly. 
     
  2. 2. Seasoning:
    Apply a thin, even layer of seasoning oil (like flaxseed, vegetable, or grapeseed oil) to the entire skillet. 
     
  3. 3. Bake:
    Place the skillet upside down on a baking sheet (to catch drips) in a 350-450°F (175-230°C) oven for an hour. 
     
  4. 4. Cool and repeat:
    Let the skillet cool down in the oven, then repeat the seasoning and baking process a few times for a more durable seasoning. 

The biggest disadvantage of gray cast iron is its low tensile strength. This results from the graphite flakes within the material – which also give it many of its benefits.

Class 25,30,35,40 tensile and heat resistant irons. Gray Iron has a dense gray structure and offers excellent machinability. Grades 25, 30, 35 and 40 can fill specific requirements for hardness and wear, and heat treatments can yield even higher mechanical properties.

The defect appears preferably on horizontal or convex surfaces and at the surface of parts of reduced thickness having solidified at high cooling rates. In grey cast irons with high carbon contents, the defect can be formed in thick sections in which C-type graphite (hypoeutectic alloys) is commonly present.

Casting Defects in Sand-Mold Cast Irons—An Illustrated Review ...

Like gray cast iron, white cast iron features many small fractures. The difference is that white cast iron features cementite below its surface, whereas gray cast iron features graphite below its surface. The graphite creates the appearance of a gray color, while the cementite creates the appearance of a white color.

The more carbon present in a material, the more brittle it is. Grey cast iron is further impacted by its graphical microstructure. It has tiny cracks and graphite flakes inherent within the material and these also contribute to its brittleness.
