1. What is a malleable iron?

Malleable steel is a kind of cast iron. The performance of this cast iron is close to that of steel, so people also commonly call it malleable steel.

Compared with other cast ferrous metals, malleable iron has better cutting performance than cast steel and nodular cast iron; better corrosion resistance than cast steel; better heat resistance than cast steel and gray cast iron; better vibration damping performance than cast steel and nodular cast iron; The low-temperature ductile-brittle transition temperature is lower than that of ductile iron; White-heart malleable steel also has the best welding performance in the cast iron family. Black-heart malleable iron was developed by American S. 

Boyden in 1826 on the basis of the introduction of white-heart malleable iron technology. Technological process: After the white cast iron with low carbon and silicon content is placed in a neutral medium for graphitization, it is kept at a temperature of 850-950 °C for dozens of hours, and the furnace is cooled to 720-740 °C and then kept for more than ten hours. Finally, a ferritic black-core malleable cast iron with a ferrite matrix and agglomerated graphite was obtained.

2. Application field

• Malleable iron is used in various industries such as automobile manufacturing, hardware tools, national defense applications, valves, aerospace and so on.

• Malleable pipe fittings are mainly used in water delivery systems, petroleum systems, water supply and drainage systems, fire protection systems, etc., and can even be made into handicrafts as decorations.

3. Malleable Fittings Standard

The grade of malleable cast iron is expressed by the percentage of the minimum tensile strength value (MPa) and the minimum elongation after fracture attached to "KTH" or "KTZ". For example, the grade KTH 350—10 represents a black-core malleable iron with a minimum tensile strength of 350 MPa and a minimum elongation after fracture of 10%, namely ferritic malleable cast iron; KTZ 650—02 represents a minimum tensile strength of 650 MPa and a minimum elongation after fracture of 650 MPa. Pearlitic malleable iron with a rate of 2%.

The national standard for malleable iron pipe fittings in China is GB/T3287-2011, and the material standard for malleable iron is GB/T9440-2010. Jianzhi Group is the main drafting unit of these two standards and plays a key role in the revision of the standards. Black-heart malleable cast iron is divided into several grades such as KTH300-06, KTH330-08 and KTH350-10.

Jianzhi Group uses KTH-330-08 malleable cast iron as the material. Compared with KTH300-06 required by the national standard, the tensile strength is 10% higher and the elongation is 33% higher than the standard.

4. Characteristics of malleable iron

The main components of malleable iron are low carbon, medium silicon and suitable manganese-sulfur ratio, and it is also the main raw material of scrap steel. Even steel filings and iron filings can be used as raw materials. Malleable steel castings have low cost, high efficiency, uniform quality, mature technology, with stable performance, it is a large branch of the micro casting industry, and it is also an ancient engineering material.

 5. Company advantage

• Good quality

a. The heaviest quality

Compared with the national standard products, the quality of Jianzhi products is the heaviest, which is obviously heavier than the national standard products of the same specifications from any domestic manufacturer.

b. The most beautiful appearance

Due to years of experience in modeling and casting and leading technical advantages, Jianzhi's products have the best appearance in China, and the galvanized surface is smooth and flat. Due to the fine sand, there are no large concave sand holes and residue marks on the surface.

c. The most precise thread

As mentioned in the threading process above, the pipe thread standard for Jianzhi is the strictest in the industry. The length and accuracy of the pipe thread strictly follow the national standards, the installation is simple and trouble-free, and the sealing performance is good.

d. The highest compensation

Due to our excellent quality control, we have proposed the only highest compensation standard in the same industry in China, 1,618 yuan for a gray part, 500 yuan for a through-hole part, and 200 yuan for a substandard product.
