What is White Iron?
When white iron solidifies, virtually all the carbon appears in the form of carbides, White irons are hard and brittle, and they break with a white fracture. These irons are usually alloyed with Chromium and Nickel. The hardness is in the range of 500 to 600 BHN, the specific alloying that is required in a function of section size and application; there must be coordination between designer and foundry. These irons exhibit outstanding wear resistance and are used extensively in the mining industry for ball mill shell liners, balls, impellers, and slurry pumps.
