Castings can be classified into various types based on different materials, processes, and requirements. Common casting types include:
Gray Iron Castings: Gray iron castings are cast iron parts with a high carbon content. They have lower strength and hardness but better wear resistance and rosin properties.
White Cast Iron (Ductile Cast Iron): White cast iron has higher strength, hardness, and toughness, while exhibiting superior corrosion resistance, and is widely used in mechanical applications.
Aluminum Alloy Castings: Aluminum alloy castings have good thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and formability, and are used to manufacture parts for the aerospace, automotive, and construction industries.
