Nodular Cast Iron

Nodular cast iron is a special type of cast iron with spheroidal (round) graphite components. These components are created during the casting process and increase the strength of the material. Nodular cast iron is often used in the automotive industry, heavy industrial machinery, pipelines and other applications because it has high toughness and strength. This material is known for its high mechanical performance and is preferred in various applications.

Carbon graphite of cast iron generally has a spherical or nodular structure. This structure is a distinctive feature that distinguishes nodular cast iron from other types of cast iron.

Usage areas of nodular cast iron are as follows:

1. It is widely used in the automotive industry in parts such as engine blocks, transmission parts and brake discs.
2. It is preferred in engineering applications such as water pipes, valve bodies and bridge parts in the construction industry.
3. Nodular cast iron is frequently used in the production of parts used in agricultural machinery and construction equipment.
4. It is used in the manufacturing of parts requiring high strength such as train wheels and rail fasteners in rail systems.
5. Nodular cast iron is preferred in the production of heavy-load-bearing parts in industrial machines.

Overall, nodular cast iron is an important material used in a wide range of industrial applications due to its properties such as high strength, impact resistance and corrosion resistance.
