Common Materials Used in Energy Equipment Castings

Energy equipment requires materials capable of handling pressure, temperature, and long-term industrial operation.

Ductile Iron

Ductile iron offers good strength and toughness and is commonly used in valve bodies, pump housings, and structural equipment components.

Typical grades include EN-GJS-400 and EN-GJS-500.

Gray Iron

Gray iron provides excellent vibration damping and machinability, making it suitable for certain equipment housings and structural parts.

Typical grades include HT200 and HT250.

Carbon Steel Castings

Carbon steel castings are widely used for energy equipment components that require higher tensile strength and structural reliability.
