Heavy-duty castings, also known as cast iron or white cast iron, is outstanding for high stresses. The reason for this exceptional hardness is a high share of carbon and the inclusion of carbon as carbide within the iron-carbon alloy. From here comes the white fracture which also gives wear castings the name white cast iron.
At highly alloyed cast irons carbides of chromium, molybdenum, vanadium or niobium develop according to the selected alloy element. Chromium carbides have the highest wear resistance. The alloys contain shares of carbon between 2 to 3.8 per cent and of chromium from 10 to 30 per cent. Here we are also talking about chromium cast iron.
