Casting Alloys Application and Classification

The wide range of casting alloys suppliers, like Nexteck Technoloy Limited, provides products and helps in selecting the most suitable and cost effective material that meets the requirements of a particular application. Each of these casting alloy has its own physical and mechanical properties. They also have their own casting characteristics, like weldability, machinability, corrosion resistance and heat treatment properties.

There are two major categories for casting alloys:

Ferrous alloys are iron based alloys that has extensive use in wide range of industries because of its flexibility to meet strength, toughness, and impact of diverse industrial applications. Ferrous alloys, like ferro-nickel alloy, aludirome, are essential part Nexteck Technoloy Limited's product lineup.

Nonferrous alloys contain no iron at all and normally are costlier than ferrous alloy. The copper alloys consisting of copper nickel alloy, copper manganese alloy and more are the largest product group among these alloys. Brasses and bronzes are the most popular copper alloys. Unquestionably, bronzes are the most versatile class of bearing materials, offering a broad range of properties from a wide selection of alloys and compositions. Copper is alloyed with zinc to make brass. Most kinds of brass are easily shaped and have a pleasing appearance. Copper is alloyed mostly with tin to make bronze.

The continuous research on alloying elements often results in the invention and development of more powerful and suitable casting alloys to meet the demands of industry applications. Selecting the proper casting method and the most suitable alloy to help in achieving optimum cost level.
