Cast Iron Round Bar and Plate
Cast iron is a strong, brittle material known for excellent wear resistance, vibration damping, and machinability. It’s widely used in engine blocks, machine bases, pipes, and heavy-duty industrial parts.​
Plate
Precision-machined cast iron plates offer excellent flatness, wear resistance, and vibration damping—ideal for bases, tooling setups, and surface plates in industrial environments.
Round Bar
Cast iron round bars provide consistent machinability and dimensional stability, making them a top choice for bushings, pulleys, and rotating machinery parts.
Overview of Cast Iron Materials
Cast iron is an iron-carbon alloy with over 2% carbon, known for its excellent castability, wear resistance, and vibration damping. Commonly used in engine blocks, pipes, and machinery bases, its high carbon content enhances fluidity but also makes it brittle. Variants like gray, ductile, and white iron offer different strengths, wear resistance, and machinability for a range of industrial applications.
