Iron/Ductile Casting
Casting molten metal into sand or metal molds creates robust components with complex internal geometries. Gray iron offers good machinability and vibration damping, ideal for engine blocks and housings. Ductile iron includes nodular graphite structures, providing improved strength, elongation, and impact resistance—commonly used in automotive and heavy-duty industrial applications. The process includes core setting, mold assembly, pouring, cooling, shakeout, and sometimes heat treatment to modify material properties.
