A grey iron casting is an alloy of iron mixed with a considerable amount of carbon.

You can find the carbon in the casting as graphite flakes. The presence of this material makes the castings extremely brittle. The basic consistency of the grey iron casting, therefore, gets disrupted. However, you can follow different measures to modify the mechanical properties of grey iron casting. More details about the process are discussed in the next slides.

Processes that are followed: To improve the tensile strength of the iron casting, a foundry follows these processes: Development of primary austenite dendrites during the solidification process Increase in the number of eutectic clusters Reduction of the eutectic graphite and distribution with fine graphite

Vital Treatments: You should take help of the following measures to change the mechanical properties of the casting:

Inoculation Treatment Usage of Hot, Molten Iron Implementation of Trace or Low Alloying Increasing the Cooling Rate during Transformation of eutectoid

These are the main procedures you should follow to modify the mechanical properties of grey iron casting. You can communicate with Huston (India) Private Limited to get quality iron casting.
