Cast Iron (GG25, GGG40, GGG60)

Cast iron refers to iron alloys containing high percentages of carbon and silicon, as well as other elements like manganese and chrome. Grey iron contains carbon in the form of graphite. Cast iron with flake graphite has graphite structured as lamellae, giving it properties like strength and machinability. Cast iron with spheroidal graphite has graphite formed into spheres, improving tensile strength, yield strength, and impact strength over flake graphite cast iron.

Cast Iron (GG25, GGG40, GGG60)

Cast iron refers to a group of iron alloys that have a high percentage of carbon (> 2 %) and silicon (> 1.5 %) as well as e.g. manganese, chrome or nickel. Grey iron contains carbon in the form of graphite. Cast iron with flake graphite (GGL/GJL) The graphite structure defined as lamellar graphite determines the characteristic properties of this material group e.g. strength, machinability, wear resistance, damping characteristics, heat conductivity, etc. Cast iron with spheroidal graphite (GGG/GJS) Due to the spherical formation of the graphite, the ductile cast iron acquires special properties compared to the flake graphite; tensile strength, yield strength and E-module are improved, expansion and impact strength are increased.
