Grey Cast Iron Property and Chemistry in GB/T9439

Grey Cast Iron (Gray iron castings) is so called because of the color of the fracture face. It contains 1.5-4.3% carbon and 0.3-5% silicon plus manganese, sulfur and phosphorus. It is brittle with low tensile strength, but is easy to cast.

The all data in this documents is referred to Chinese standard of GB/T 9439-1988. Qingdao Casting Quality write all materials from handbook.

Our Services

  1. Sand Casting

    Casting Quality focus on Metal Parts industry, we provide professional service in Metal Casting field.

    Sand Casting is a popular metal form method, are suitable for all materiel, such as grey iron, ductile iron, malleable iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and bronze.

  2. Investment Casting

    also named as precision lost wax casting, mainly suitalbe for carbon steel and stainless steel parts. We also provide grey iron and ductile iron and aluminum and bronze parts by investment casting. It can achieve the best appearance with good tolerance

  3. Shell Casting

    Shell casting method is a good option to replace investment casting and sand casting. the quality is better than sand casting parts, suitable for bulk production.

  4. CNC Machining

    CNC Milling, CNC turning with 5 xix CNC center, we provide precision machining for all castings based on customers design drawings.
