The application of ductile iron castings in railways and automotives

Ductile iron castings are made from ductile cast iron. Generally, regular iron does not possess the same performance as steel, but the properties of ductile cast iron are essentially the same as steel, making its applications very widespread. The superior performance of ductile iron casting parts enables their use in many areas.

Applications of Ductile Iron Castings 

1. Iron casting railway parts as main scope of our company, we had rich experience in casting and maching on related parts. In recent years, the development of railway and high-speed train equipment has been rapid. Many foundries in the country have begun to provide ductile iron castings in bulk to well-known domestic and international railway parts supply companies.

2. Iron casting automotive parts 

 Diesel engine turbocharger components of ductile iron applications in our country very widely. Research and development have been early, with a wide range of applications and high production volumes. 

With the development and promotion of turbocharging technology, ordinary grades of ductile iron crankshafts can no longer meet the performance requirements of high-power turbocharged diesel engines; thus, high-strength and high-toughness ductile iron and ADI have been developed.Due to the superior properties of ductile iron castings and their relatively low prices compared to steel, the demand for ductile iron castings is indeed very high.

Other main scope: cast iron exhaust manifold, cast iron turbine housing, cast iron bearing housing ...
