The types of casting materials mainly include the following categories:
Cast steel material: Cast steel material is made by fusing different metal materials such as iron, carbon, chromium, manganese, molybdenum, etc., and has the characteristics of high hardness, corrosion resistance and stable performance. It is suitable for mechanical equipment with large load-bearing requirements, but its fluidity is poor and it is not suitable for making complex molds with high difficulty.
Cast iron material: Cast iron material has the characteristics of good conductivity, strong magnetism and strong plasticity. It is often used for structural welding, but attention should be paid to temperature control during annealing to avoid brittleness of the material.
Cast copper material: Cast copper material is easy to process and scratch-resistant and wear-resistant, and is often used for complex structural casting in high temperature environments. Due to its good airtightness and resistance to corrosion, it is suitable for industries such as hydropower generation.
Cast aluminum material: Aluminum has a low density and good ductility, and is suitable for mechanical equipment with complex operations and high heights, such as the aerospace industry.
Cast zinc material: Including zinc alloy, lead-free solder, etc., for specific connection and welding needs.
Stainless steel: such as 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, etc., used for applications that require corrosion resistance.
Special refractory materials: such as clay bricks, high-alumina bricks, mullite bricks, etc., used for fire resistance and wear resistance in high temperature environments.
Each of these materials has its own unique properties and application areas. The selection of appropriate casting materials needs to be determined according to the specific use environment and needs.
