SG iron, also known as ductile iron, is a type of cast iron that has been enhanced with nodular graphite inclusions, giving it superior ductility and toughness compared to traditional cast iron. This modification in its microstructure is achieved through the addition of magnesium, leading to a material that combines the processability of cast iron with some of the mechanical properties of steel.
Characteristics of SG Iron
SG iron is distinguished by its excellent strength, impact and fatigue resistance, and elongation properties. These characteristics make it particularly valuable in applications requiring robust, durable components that must withstand wear, heavy loads, and high stress. Ductile iron also maintains good machinability and can be surface hardened to further enhance wear resistance, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of industrial applications.
Our Capabilities in Manufacturing SG Iron Castings
At Taiyuan Simis
Investment Casting Co., Ltd, we are proficient in manufacturing SG iron castings through both investment casting and
Sand Casting methods. Each technique is chosen based on the requirements of the project, considering factors such as the complexity of the design, the size of the components, and the desired properties of the final product.
Investment Casting of SG Iron: Our
Iron Investment Casting process is ideal for creating small to medium-sized SG iron castings with intricate details and complex geometries. This method involves creating a precise wax model of the component, which is then coated with a ceramic slurry to form a mold. After the ceramic material hardens, the wax is melted away, leaving a cavity into which molten SG iron is poured. The result is a high-precision casting with excellent surface finish and dimensional accuracy, making it suitable for components such as ductile iron valves, which require tight tolerances and smooth surfaces.
Sand Casting of SG Iron: For larger or more straightforward SG iron components, sand casting is an effective production method. This process allows for the economical production of large parts, including robust SG iron castings used in heavy machinery, automotive components, and infrastructure projects. Sand casting involves forming a mold from a sand mixture and pouring molten iron into the mold cavity. This method is highly adaptable and can produce a wide range of component sizes with good mechanical properties.
