Grey iron castings lend durability, hardness and strength to any operation for which they are used. The applications of gray iron castings are many. As non-flammable building components, they provide superior fire protection to wooden support structures. Also, their graphite/graphite flake content is useful in energy dissipation of parts like engine blocks and crankshafts, which depend on the dampening of mechanical vibrations.The switch to continuous cast iron is on. Besides offering greater durability and reliability than conventional sand cast iron, Cast iron costs less.Our continuous casting process allows the iron to solidify at a more uniform rate than sand cast iron or steel, which enhances its strength and durability. And with less scrap produced by casting, less machining required, and no tooling charges, costs are inherently lower.
