Overview


Tailored for automotive safety-critical components, our High-Ductility Low-Defect Ductile Iron Casting Parts Series 6 combines exceptional elongation with meticulous defect control, meeting the rigorous demands of passenger vehicle and commercial truck applications. Cast from ASTM A536 Grade 65-45-12 and EN-GJS-400-18U, these parts feature a ferritic matrix for superior formability and impact resistance, ideal for suspension and powertrain components.


Features


Ductility-Driven Design

High Elongation:

Elongation ≥18% (ASTM A536), 50% higher than standard ductile iron, enabling cold forming and reducing stress concentrations in suspension arms.

Low carbon equivalent (CE ≤4.3%), minimizing carbide formation and improving weldability for assembly with steel components.

Defect Control:

Porosity ≤0.3%, achieved through low-pressure sand casting and 100% X-ray inspection, surpassing IATF 16949 requirements for automotive critical parts.


Automotive-Grade Quality

Microstructure Purity: Spheroidization rate ≥99% (ISO 945: Grade 1), with graphite size ≥8 (ISO 945), enhancing fatigue life (10⁸ cycles at 150MPa) for wheel hubs and control arms.

Surface Finish: As-cast Ra ≤12.5μm, with optional shot peening (coverage ≥95%) to improve fatigue strength by 20% for stressed surfaces.


Process & Design Optimization

Thin-Wall Casting: Successfully produces 3-5mm walls for lightweight components (e.g., brake caliper brackets), reducing part weight by 15% compared to gray iron.

Mold Technology: 3D-printed sand molds enable complex undercuts and lightweight lattice structures, supporting advanced automotive designs (e.g., electric vehicle battery brackets).


Regulatory Compliance

Material Traceability: 100% traceable from melt to assembly, with each part serialized and linked to heat treatment records (ISO 22309 compliant).

Testing Rigor: 100% tensile, impact, and hardness testing per heat, with PPAP Level 3 capability for automotive OEMs.


Application


Passenger Vehicles:

Suspension control arms, steering knuckles, and wheel hubs (IATF 16949 certified), providing 20% weight savings over steel while meeting FMVSS 124 impact standards.

Commercial Trucks:

Axle housings, differential cases, and brake components (SAE J2931 compliant), withstanding 500,000+ miles of cyclic loading without fatigue failure.

Electric Vehicles:

Battery brackets, motor mounts, and structural components, leveraging high ductility for crash resistance and lightweighting (ISO 26262 functional safety compliant).
