ALLOY CAST IRONS 



To obtain exceptional properties such as high tensile strength, hardness, wear resistance, corro- 

 sion resistance, and heat resistance, many alloys of cast iron with other elements have been developed. 

 The effect of various alloying additions are indicated in the accompanying table.
