What Is FC250 Gray Cast Iron?
FC250 gray cast iron, specifically, refers to cast iron with a minimum tensile strength of 250 MPa. Its composition typically includes graphite, giving it a distinct grayish appearance and certain mechanical properties.
Uses of FC250 Gray Cast Iron
FC250 gray cast iron is widely used for its hardness and moldability, despite being less strong and more brittle than other iron and steel types. It’s commonly used in automotive components such as cylinder blocks and brake discs, machinery parts like gears and bearings, and in molds for plastic molding and rolling.
Properties of FC250 Gray Cast Iron
FC250 gray cast iron is known for its wear resistance, good machinability, vibration absorption, and castability. It also has inherent lubricity and heat resistance, making it suitable for applications where these properties are essential.
Other Information on FC250 Gray Cast Iron
FC250 gray cast iron has high dimensional stability due to low solidification shrinkage during casting. Its static strength and durability are enhanced by its high density, uniform graphite arrangement, high castability, and the possibility of strengthening through heat treatment. However, its brittleness and lack of ductility make it unsuitable for certain types of machining.
