The mineral is applied before the casting process to produce an impact-resistant, durable metal that can last for years. The presence of magnesium in ductile iron makes it the preferred choice for durable parts. Gray iron is known for the following properties: We recommend gray iron to companies looking for durable components.
Gray iron is ideal for OEM (original equipment manufacturing), automotive, and aerospace applications. Castings made of gray iron use an alloy of 95% iron, 2.1 to 4% carbon, and 1 to 3% silicon. The name gray iron comes from the grayish hue that the metal exhibits after the casting process. Clifford Schwenn (pictured) retired and Donald Brunner then became President of Waupaca Foundry, Inc. A conversion creates a 2-cupola operation and the plant becomes what is known today as Plant 2/3. We'll be happy to recommend the ideal type depending on your unique needs. An addition to the industrial park plant of Waupaca Foundry doubles iron casting production capacity at the plant. Our team specializes in two types of iron castings: gray iron and ductile iron casting. We provide affordable and high-quality castings at Fountain Foundry. The alternatives are cold-setting materials like epoxy, concrete, plaster, and clay. Iron is by far the most popular metal that is being turned into parts by this method. While different materials can be ejected from or taken out of a mold, hot metals are the most common materials used. The casting can directly be used once cooled. The solidified metal is known as a casting, which is immediately removed off the mold once properly cooled. Iron casting is a manufacturing process that involves pouring molten material into a mold to take its shape.
Through our gray and ductile iron casting services, customers can get quality metal parts that suit their specifications with quick turnaround times. “Iron seemeth a simple metal but in it’s nature are many mysteries and men who bend to them their minds shall, in arriving days, gather therefrom great profit, not to themselves alone but to all mankind.Clients looking for quality metal parts can count on Fountain Foundry for quality components and products.
