Gray cast iron
Gray cast iron is a cast iron material characterized by gray fractures, hence the name. Gray cast iron contains a large number of graphite particles, which are distributed in the iron matrix, giving its fracture a gray appearance. Compared with ductile iron and white cast iron, the graphite particles of gray cast iron are irregular and isolated, and are not interconnected into spherical shapes.
The main components of gray cast iron are iron, carbon and silicon, of which the content of carbon is generally between 2% and 4%, and the content of silicon is between 1% and 3%. By adjusting the content of carbon and silicon, the mechanical properties, heat treatment properties and casting properties of gray cast iron can be controlled.
Gray cast iron has good castability and can be produced by sand casting, metal casting and other methods. It has high wear resistance, compressive strength and heat resistance, so it is often used in the manufacture of wear-resistant parts, construction machinery parts, automobile parts, etc. In addition, due to the relatively low price of gray cast iron, it is widely used in various fields.
However, compared with ductile iron, gray cast iron has poor toughness and ductility and is prone to brittle fracture. Therefore, some applications requiring high compressive properties and toughness may not be suitable for gray cast iron.
