Milling and turning cast iron
Cast iron is an iron alloy with a high proportion of carbon and silicon, which results in a lower density than steel. In contrast to steel, cast iron has better thermal conductivity and good castability.

250 – 300 |
180 – 250 |
Cast iron with lamellar graphite, which impresses with its excellent damping properties, advantageous self-lubricating properties and good thermal conductivity. The material is hardenable and is particularly suitable for applications that require vibration damping and thermal efficiency. |

370 – 400 |
135 – 180 |
Cast iron with spheroidal graphite, whose alloy is characterized by its high strength and good damping properties. The casting process is more complex, as it requires special conditions to create the spheroidal graphite structure. It is well suited for applications that require high strength and good elongation properties. It has a ferritic structure. |

420 – 500 |
170 – 230 |
Cast iron with spheroidal graphite is characterized by its higher strength and good damping properties. The casting process is more complex, as it requires special conditions to create the spheroidal graphite structure. It is well suited for applications that require high strength and impact resistance. It has a ferritic-pearlitic structure. |

550 – 600 |
190 – 270 |
Cast iron with spheroidal graphite is characterized by its very high strength and good damping properties. The casting process is more complex, as it requires special conditions to create the ductile iron structure. It is well suited for applications that require very high strength and wear resistance. It has a pearlitic-ferritic microstructure. |
