Manufacture Process for ASTM A532 Class II type A Designation 12% Cr
- Sand Casting
- Shell Casting
Our Services
- Sand Casting
Casting Quality focus on Metal Parts industry, we provide professional service in Metal Casting field.
Sand Casting is a popular metal form method, are suitable for all materiel, such as grey iron, ductile iron, malleable iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and bronze.
- Investment Casting
Also named as precision lost wax casting, mainly suitalbe for carbon steel and stainless steel parts. We also provide grey iron and ductile iron and aluminum and bronze parts by investment casting. It can achieve the best appearance with good tolerance
- Shell Casting
Shell casting method is a good option to replace investment casting and sand casting. the quality is better than sand casting parts, suitable for bulk production.
- Permanent Mold Casting
For aluminum parts and Brozne parts
- CNC Machining
CNC Milling, CNC turning with 5 xix CNC center, we provide precision machining for all castings based on customers design drawings.
- CAD Design
Mechanical Design service based on customers requirement, our software is Solidworks and AutoCAD.
- Tools/Mold Design
Mould design and production will be served for metal casting ad plastic injection industry. Based on our more than 10 years experience, we supply professional molds for our customers in Europe and North American.

ASTM A532 Class II type A Designation 12% Cr Casting Mechanical Property
No requirement about tensile/yield and elongation.
ASTM A532 Class II type A Designation 12% Cr Casting Heat Treatment Requirement
It will be up to the hardness requirement: as Cast, as Cast and Stress relieved, Hardened, Hardened and stress relieved, Softened for machining.
Generally, the 12%Cr material is frequently ordered in the annealed condition with a maximum hardness of 400HB, after machining operations are performed the castings may then be hardened.
ASTM A532 Class II type A Designation 12% Cr Castings Application
- Pump industry.
- Mining industry, crusher liner, chute liner.
- Oil or recycling.
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.
