Ductile cast iron is a cast iron material obtained in the casting process by using nodular cast iron balls as the base material. Its spheroidizing treatment is to react carbon and magnesium in cast iron to form magnesium compounds, so that cast iron presents a spherical particle structure, thereby improving the plasticity, toughness and strength of cast iron. Ductile iron castings are mainly used in the manufacture of mechanical parts, auto parts, pipe fittings, railway vehicles, building structures and other fields.
There are many types of ductile iron castings, mainly including the following:
QT400-15: low strength, good toughness, often used to manufacture some mechanical parts that require high toughness.
QT400-18: It has good strength and toughness, and is often used to manufacture some mechanical parts with medium loads.
QT450-10: High strength, poor toughness, often used to manufacture some mechanical parts with heavy loads.
QT500-7: Good strength and toughness, often used to manufacture some mechanical parts that require high strength and wear resistance.
QT600-3: High strength and toughness, often used to manufacture some mechanical parts that require high strength and wear resistance.
The market price of ductile iron castings is affected by many factors:
Material cost: The raw material cost of ductile iron will affect the price of the final product, such as cast iron, iron alloy, nodularizer, etc.
Equipment cost: The production of ductile iron requires special equipment and processes, and the cost of these equipment and processes will also affect the price of the product.
Market supply and demand: Market supply and demand will also have an impact on the price of ductile iron castings. If the market demand is high, the price may increase and vice versa.
Production technology and quality standards: Production technology and quality standards are also important factors affecting prices. High-quality ductile iron parts can be more expensive.
According to the influence of the above factors, the price of ductile iron castings may be different in the market. Generally speaking, the price of ductile iron castings is between 5,000 yuan and 20,000 yuan per ton.
