About Iron Castings
Cast iron is an alloy of iron and carbon; it is hard, brittle, and non-malleable. The concentration of carbon varies from 2% to 5%. The alloy has lower melting temperature and requires less refining when compared with steel, which has a typical carbon content of 0.5%. The less refining required allows for the production of components at a lower cost and without using specialized equipment. In addition, iron can be cast into more complex shapes as it shrinks less during solidification when compared with steel. The major properties of cast iron include high compressive strength, good casting features, and excellent machinability.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global iron castings market to grow at a CAGR of 6.99% during the period 2017-2021.
