Aiming for Higher Strength & Wear Resistance

Grey and ductile iron castings market is expected to grow at a steady rate over the coming years. The market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for the castings in the automotive and construction industries. Grey iron castings are being widely used in various industrial applications due to their high strength, wear resistance, and ductility. Ductile iron castings, on the other hand, offer higher tensile strength and toughness, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications such as pipelines, pumps, and valves. The rise in automotive production and the increasing demand for lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles are expected to drive the growth of the grey and ductile iron castings market in the near future. The expansion of the construction industry in emerging economies such as India is expected to further boost the demand for these castings. Realizing this, we have come up with this special issue.
