Abrasive-resistant cast irons
Method: Sand Casting, Resin Sand Casting
Material: Abrasive-resistant cast irons
Abrasion resistant cast iron materials are white, carbide-solidified cast iron materials which contain a high level of hard particles in the form of iron or chromium carbides. The carbides areheld by a hard matrix. Generally the matrix is martensitic but there are also cases of an austenitic matrix as well, which only becomes more solid during the wear process associated with strain hardening. Since they are highly resistant to wearing, white cast iron materials are particularly suitable for applications involving wear caused by minerals, for
example in grinding tools, in reducing, mixing and conveying equipment and systems and in pumps.
