Casting Materials Guide

Match the material to the job — strength, wear, corrosion, and cost.

Home / Casting Materials Guide

Grey Iron

Excellent vibration damping and machinability, good compression; ideal for housings, blocks, and bases.

Ductile Iron

High strength and toughness with some ductility; used for safety-critical and fatigue-loaded parts.

Carbon & Alloy Steel

High strength and impact resistance for structural and wear parts; alloying for hardenability.

Stainless & Duplex

Corrosion resistance for valve, pump, and food/pharma applications.

Aluminum & Copper Alloys

Lightweight and corrosion-resistant; aluminum for die casting, bronze/brass for wear and seawater.
