ALLOY CAST IRON ✓ The cast irons discussed so far are called plain cast irons, in the sense that the above cast irons contain only small amounts of impurities. ✓ The alloy cast irons, like alloy steels can be produced by adding alloying elements like Ni, Cr, Mo, Cu, Si, and Mn. ✓ In general, the effects of alloying elements on the properties of cast iron are similar to the effects of same elements on the properties of steel. ✓ Purpose: Alloy cast irons have been produced to give high- strength materials, hard and abrasion-resistant materials, corrosion resistant irons, and irons for high-temperature service. Table 3.15 presents some of the alloying elements and their primary effects on the cast iron. Table 3.16 presents compositions, typical mechanical properties, and applications of some of the commonly used alloy cast irons.1. What are Alloy Cast Irons?
