USEAGE
CAST IRON
With its relatively low melting point, good fluidity, castability, excellent machinability, resistance to deformation and wear resistance, cast irons have become an engineering material with a wide range of applications and are used in pipes, machines and automotive industry parts, such as cylinder heads, cylinder
STEEL
Steel is the world's most important engineering and construction material. It is used in every aspect of our lives; in cars and construction products, refrigerators and washing machines, cargo ships and surgical scalpels. It can be recycled over and over again without loss of property.
WROUGHT IRON
Historical uses of wrought iron were decorative: fences, gates, railings, balconies, porches, canopies, roof cresting, lamp, grilles, hardware, nails, iron cramps, structural members in tension (I, H and other beams), etc. Wrought-iron pieces are usually riveted or forge-moulded (heat welded) together.
