Casting foundries in India use alloys for high strength Applications that also require good ductility. These alloys, when treated with small amount of barium, may Improve desirable mechanical properties : light weight and high strength. Such alloys, containing interdendritic eutectic microstructure, may offer engineers strength and ductility not currently seen in existing cast alloys. These alloys also may be further strengthened by heat treatment. Address : 1708 / 1709, G I D C – II, Dolatpara, Junagadh – 362 037. Website : castings.castechindia.com/contacts.html
