Foundry Tech: Stainless Steel
Mild and low alloy steels continue to be the most widely used ferrous materials, due to their cost-effectiveness and high-performance properties. However, they do have a tendency to rust or corrode if left unprotected. This is due to the affinity...
Foundry Tech: Low Alloy Steel or LAS
In this article, we’ll look at the workhorse of industry, Low Alloy Steel or LAS. This family of steels has many different properties can be produced to meet different needs, such as strength, hardness, wear resistance etc. LAS is used in dragline...
Foundry Tech: Alloy White Irons
In this article, we’ll look at another member of the iron family – Alloy white irons (No, not named after White Industries.). White iron has a white appearance when fractured, just as grey iron has a grey fracture face. Alloy white irons differ...
Foundry Tech: Grey Irons and SG Irons
In the last two articles, we’ve looked at Grey Irons and SG Irons. Both have varying amounts of ferrite and pearlite to adjust the physical properties such as strength and hardness. There is another family of irons with a structure known as...
