Grey iron casting

Grey Iron Casting

Grey iron casting is a widely used metalworking process in which molten grey iron is poured into a mold to create components with specific shapes and properties. Grey iron, named for its characteristic gray-colored fracture surface, owes its appearance to the presence of flake graphite in its microstructure. This graphite provides unique benefits, such as excellent thermal conductivity, vibration damping, and machinability, making grey iron an ideal material for various industrial applications.

We specialize in the production of gray iron castings, delivering high-quality components for industries such as machinery manufacturing, automotive parts, pumps, and valves. With years of expertise and a fully integrated production line, we provide complete solutions from casting to finished components, ensuring reliability and consistency for our global clients.
