ACTech - Vermicular Graphite Cast Iron
With vermicular graphite cast iron, the graphite contained is in vermicular form and the matrix is ferritic, ferritic/pearlitic to fully pearlitic. The production of this material is considered difficult because the special graphite formation is only achieved within a very narrow process window. It is, however, worth the effort: The iron casting material unites the best properties of grey iron and spherulitic graphite iron. Material standard: DIN EN 16079.
