Cast Iron Components

Cast iron offers strong damping, machinability and wear resistance in heavy industrial parts. Monmet supplies the full spectrum from grey iron to abrasion-resistant white iron alloys.

Quick answer

Cast iron spans grey iron for damping and machinability, ductile iron for steel-like strength, and abrasion-resistant white irons for heavy wear duty. Typical parts include machine bases, mill housings, pump impellers and mining wear plates. Monmet supplies the full family, with chemistry and mechanical testing set by your drawing or purchase order.

Cast Iron

Families

Grey iron, ductile (nodular) iron, ADI (austempered ductile iron), nickel-chromium white irons, austenitic nickel irons and high-chrome white iron.

Applications

Machine bases, mill housings, hydraulic blocks, pump impellers, mining wear plates, slurry pump parts, marine non-magnetic components.

Testing

Chemistry per heat, plus the hardness, tensile and metallographic testing named on your drawing or purchase order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Grey iron has flake graphite (excellent damping, lower strength); ductile has nodular graphite giving steel-like elongation and higher strength.

Austempered ductile iron rivals quenched-and-tempered alloy steels at lower density and cost.

Austenitic Ni-Resist offers non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant service at elevated temperature — used in pumps, valves and marine fittings.
