China Ni-Resist Ductile Iron Factory

There are two families of Ni-Resist austenitic cast irons.These are the standard or flake graphite alloys and the ductile or spheroidal graphite alloys. As time passes, the spheroidal grades, because of higher strength, ductility and elevated temperature properties, are becoming more prominent.

Ni-Resist ductile iron is a special type of ductile iron containing a high proportion of nickel, typically above 20%. This unique alloy composition endows Ni-Resist ductile iron with excellent performance and a wide range of applications.

Superior Performance:

Corrosion Resistance: The high nickel content gives this material excellent corrosion resistance, allowing it to maintain stable performance even in harsh environments.

Wear Resistance: Ni-Resist ductile iron exhibits excellent wear resistance, making it suitable for manufacturing parts requiring long-term use and frequent wear.

Strength and Hardness: Compared to ordinary ductile iron,Ni-Resist ductile iron has higher strength and hardness, enabling it to withstand greater loads and pressures.

Wide Applications:

Automotive Industry: In automotive engine parts manufacturing,Ni-Resist ductile iron is widely used in the production of critical components such as cylinder liners, crankshafts, and camshafts.

Machinery Manufacturing: In the machinery manufacturing industry, Ni-Resist ductile iron is commonly used to manufacture gears, bearing housings, rollers, and other parts to improve their wear and corrosion resistance.

Aerospace: In the aerospace field,Ni-Resist ductile iron is used to manufacture turbine blades, engine components, and other critical components operating at high temperatures and pressures.
