In the centrifugal casting cylinder liner manufacturing what is the melting point of SG Iron & Gray cast iron?

Posted on December 30, 2009 by admin


Cast iron melts at 1275 degrees Celsius. SG irons have castability similar to that of cast iron, so I would have to say it has a similar melting point.
