Heat Treatment of Medium and Low Alloy Steel Castings
Medium and low alloy steels are a big group of alloy steels with alloying elements (mainly chemical elements such as silicon, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, nickel, copper and vanadium) content of less than 8%. Medium and low alloy steel castings have good hardenabilit...Read more -
The Heat Treatment of Carbon Steel Castings
The heat treatment methods usually used for carbon steel castings are: annealing, normalizing or normalizing + tempering. The influence of these three heat treatment methods on the mechanical properties of cast carbon steel is shown in the figure below. The ...Read more -
Surface Heat Treatment of Steel Castings
Surface heat treatment refers to the process of heat-treating only the surface layer of steel castings. Surface heat treatment can also obtain the required metallographic structure and mechanical properties. Commonly used surface heat treatment methods are: induction hea...Read more -
Normalization Heat Treatment for Steel Castings
Normalizing, also known as normalization, is to heat the workpiece to Ac3 (Ac refers to the final temperature at which all free ferrite is transformed into austenite during heating, generally from 727°C to 912°C) or Acm (Acm is In actual heating, the critical temperature...Read more -
Austenitic Stainless Steel
Austenitic stainless steel refers to stainless steel with an austenitic structure at room temperature. Austenitic stainless steel is one of the five classes of stainless steel by crystalline structure (along with ferritic, martensitic, duplex and precipitation hardened)....Read more -
Gray Cast Iron Mechanical Properties
Gray iron, or grey cast iron, is a type of cast iron that has a graphite microstructure. It is named after the gray color of the fracture it forms. The gray cast iron is used for custom grey iron castings where the stiffness of the component is more important than its te...Read more -

Cobalt-based Alloy Castings
Cobalt-based alloy is a hard alloy that can withstand various types of wear, corrosion and high temperature oxidation. Cobalt-based alloys are based on cobalt as the main component, containing a considerable amount of nickel, alloying chemical elements such as chromium, ...Read more -
Description, Reasons and Remedies of Common Sand Casting Defects
There are many reasons for sand casting defects in real sand casting process. But we can find the exact reasons by analyzing the defects inside and outside. Any irregularity in the moulding process causes defects in castings which may sometimes be tolerated. Usually the ...Read more -
Industrial Electrocoating Surface Treatment for Metal Castings and Machining Products
Industrial electrocoating is a widely used surface treatment for protecting the metal castings and CNC machining products from the corrosion with nice finish. Many customers ask questions about the surface treatment of metal castings and precision machined parts. This ar...Read more -
Austempered Ductile Iron – ADI Castings
Austempered ductile iron, also known as ADI, refers to the ductile cast iron after process of austenitizing ductile iron (850℃-950℃) and then quickly placing it in a salt bath (232℃-450℃) for isothermal transformation. In addition, with the addition of sufficient amounts...Read more -
Cast Iron Castings VS Carbon Steel Castings
Cast iron castings have been used widely in industries and machineries since the modern foundry estabilished. Even in current times, the iron castings still play an important role in trucks, railroad freight cars, tractors, construction machineries, heavy duty equipment....Read more
