We manufacture iron castings in a range of grades including grey, ductile, and vermicular irons, and alloy irons such as NiResist and SiMo. Customer specific grades are also available on request. Our 5 induction furnaces allow us to change grades within minutes and cast parts weighing from as little as 200g up to 250kg.
We can produce all grades of the following materials. Non-standard and customer specific grades are available on request.
- Grey Irons - High compression strength & dampening qualities.
- Ductile Irons - (spheroidal graphite, SG, or nodular) Ductile with a high tensile strength.
- Vermicular Graphite Irons - Characteristics in-between grey and ductile irons.
- Austempered Ductile Irons (ADI) - Heat treated for increased strength & wear resistance.
- SiMo (Silicon Molybdenum) Irons - Resists oxidisation at high temperatures.
- NiResist Irons - Resistant to corrosion at high temperature.
