The Benefits of Combining Chrome White Iron and Steel
on July 9, 2020A combination of chrome white iron, ASTM A532, and steel in piping applications can be a good idea. It increases wear life and helps meet piping codes
Chrome White Iron Outlasts Rubber 7 Times
on May 5, 2020A mine in British Columbia got 7 times the wear life by replacing their rubber-lined discharge nozzle with chrome white iron. Read this success story today.
Best ASTM A532 Alloy for Abrasive Wear – 25% Cr Vs. 15% Cr
on January 22, 2020What is the best chrome white iron, ASTM A532 alloy, for preventing corrosion? If you have a challenge because of abrasive wear, read this blog.
Tips for Recycling and Reusing Ductile Iron
on December 3, 2019One key benefit of iron production is that a foundry can melt down and reuse metal. Not only does this offer sustainability benefits, but significant cost savings.
Low Temperature Impact Resistant ASTM A536
on October 21, 2019This ASTM A536 data sheet focuses on low temperature, impact resistant ductile iron. It includes microstructure, mechanical property and application notes.
Wye Lateral ASTM A532
on August 7, 2019Wye laterals are used in a wide range of industries including the oil sands, mining, chemical processing, and waste management to transport liquids and slurries. Due to their caustic and/or abrasive composition, these materials can create substantial wear on parts, necessitating frequent replacement. The costs of replacement in both materials and downtime can be high.
Solid Solution Ductile Iron
on June 12, 2019Conventional ductile iron contains a mix of pearlite and ferrite in the matrix surrounding the nodules. This mix, depending on different cooling rates throughout the casting, can cause large ranges in mechanical properties like hardness.
30% Chrome White Iron Data Sheet
on April 18, 2019The 30% Cr alloy is designed for use in applications like flue-gas desulfurization (FGD). The higher Cr content makes this alloy especially useful when conditions of severe acid corrosion exist and when high Cl ion concentrations are present.
The Benefits of Using Chrome White Iron
on March 6, 2019Because of its unique microstructure, chrome white iron offers superior abrasion resistance over other alloys, including steel. But ASTM A532 also confers specific recycling, reusing and repairing advantages over rubber and ceramic products, resulting in a lower environmental impact and significant cost savings.
