First of all, the real scientific name of malleable steel is cast iron, because its performance is close to steel and the English name has the sound of horse, so it is called malleable steel. It can be seen from this that malleable steel is actually iron, so many places call it malleable iron. But the performance is similar to Gang, so the performance is very distinctive. Compared with other cast metals, malleable steel has better cutting performance than cast steel and cast iron, and its corrosion resistance is stronger than cast steel. The heat resistance is better than cast steel and gray cast iron. White core malleable steel also has the characteristics of welding, which is the best in cast iron. Moreover, the shock absorption performance and low-temperature toughness-to-brittle transition are better than general materials. Because the ratio of carbon, silicon, manganese and sulfur in malleable steel is specific, the raw materials can be scrap steel, steel scraps, scraps, etc. Moreover, the sulfur content of malleable steel determines its advantage for cupola steelmaking. Therefore, malleable steel has the characteristics of low manufacturing cost, uniform product quality and performance, mature technology and high efficiency.
Because of the various characteristics of malleable steel, it has brought a wide range of applications and a stronger dependence. Automobile manufacturing, hardware and defense applications, valves, aerospace and other industries are used in various industries. Although the development of many new materials and composite materials has achieved great success, it is difficult to replace malleable steel's dominant position.
