Iron alloys
Since 2011, in order to be able to better and more flexibly react to customer requirements, we have been using a Twin induction melting furnace with a melting capacity of 150/350 kg per hour. We can thus produce cast parts made of cast iron with a per-unit weight of up to 280 kg.
We utilise generative production processes such as innovative 3D printing technologies just as targetedly as traditional applications to create complicated cast parts with subsequent finishing.
Each requirement needs the suitable material, and it is good, if a reliable partner is available when making an evaluating and selection. Together with you, we compare and assess the physical and chemical characteristics that you need for your application.Spheroidal cast iron (EN-GJS) - High ductility with high tensile strength.
Spheroidal cast iron features extraordinarily high ductility. It shows extremely high strength that, in part, is greater than that of forged and cast-steel components having identical expansion values. Further alloying can increase wear resistance and temperature resistance as well as corrosion resistance. Here, the reason for those characteristics of the material lies in the structure of the iron-carbon alloy. The graphite here forms a spherical structure in the cast iron. For this reason, spheroidal cast iron is also known as spheroidal graphite cast iron.
Grey cast iron (EN-GJL) High wear resistance with good damping properties.
Grey cast iron is the iron-carbon alloy used the most. What makes it so special is its high wear resistance and its good castability. In addition, the material is particularly easy to process and dampens mechanical vibrations particularly well. The reasons for these physical characteristics can be found in the structure of the cast iron. The carbon in the grey cast iron is present in the form of lamellas that form three-dimensional branchings. The alloys listed are processed regularly, however, in relation to job orders we can create alloys as per customer specifications.

ADI (Austempered Ductile Iron) - ausferritic ductile iron with spheroidal graphite mit Kugelgraphit
This casting material is characterised by its very favourable combination of tensile strength and ductility while having very good wear resistance characteristics. Based on cast iron with spheroidal graphite, a clear structural modification can be achieved with a multi-step thermal treatment. Bainitic cast iron with spheroidal graphite is being created.
