Nickel-chromium white cast iron, known as Ni-hard in the industry, has been used for a long time, especially in crusher and grinding parts. In addition to the carbide-forming chromium mentioned above, these cast irons also contain some nickel.…

Cast irons are alloys containing more than 2% carbon (C) in their structure.  As the name suggests, the most common production method is casting. They are hard and brittle due to their high carbon content.…

Cast iron has a brittle structure because it has a high carbon content in its structure. It has a low melting temperature. That's why it is one of the most used alloys. Their tensile strength is quite low. …

When we look at the Fe-C diagram of cast irons, they are shown in the range from 2% to 6.67%. However, since their high carbon content causes brittleness, in practice they are known as a Fe-C-Si alloy containing up to 4.4% carbon and 3.5% silicon.…
