Malleable Steel Properties

The processing performance of white iron is extremely poor, but after high temperature tempering, it has high strength and plasticity, and can be machined.

Because the graphite in malleable cast iron is flocculent and has less effect on the matrix, its mechanical properties are higher than that of gray cast iron, and its plasticity and toughness are good, but malleable cast iron cannot be forged. The matrix structure of malleable cast iron is different, and its properties are also different. Among them, black-core malleable iron has higher plasticity and toughness, while pearlitic malleable iron has higher strength, hardness and wear resistance.
