Cast Iron: Alloy

The primary difference between standard cast iron and alloy cast iron lies in the intentional addition of alloying agents. These additions typically range from small percentages (low-alloy) to over 30% (high-alloy) of the total weight.

Increases hardness and wear resistance by forming stable carbides. It also provides oxidation resistance at high temperatures. alloy cast iron

Enhances high-temperature strength and improves the material’s response to heat treatment. The primary difference between standard cast iron and
