Lamellar Cast Iron

Lamellar cast iron is a special type of cast iron. Cast iron is an alloy containing high amounts of iron and carbon. Lamellar cast iron is a type of cast iron formed in lamellar form. These lamellae look like graphite particles present in the microstructure of cast iron.

The mechanical properties and machinability of lamellar cast iron vary depending on the shape and distribution of the lamellae.

Usage areas of lamellar cast iron are as follows:

1. In the automotive industry, parts such as engine blocks, cylinder heads, brake discs,
2. In heavy load-bearing parts such as wheels, shafts, crankshaft bearings in machine manufacturing,
3. In the construction industry, in pressurized parts such as water pipes and valves,
4. In industrial equipment, parts such as valves and pump bodies,
5. Engine blocks and other heavy parts in agricultural machines and tractors.

Lamellar cast iron is an important construction material used in a wide range of industrial applications due to its high strength, wear resistance and machinability.
