Royal Metals Ltd. is proud to present Dura-Bar continuous cast gray irons, that contain flake graphite in matrix structures that range from all pearlite to pearlite plus ferrite depending on the grades. The flake configuration corresponds to ASTM Type VII and is available in Type D, size 6-8 or Type A, size 4-6.

The matrix structure will influence machinability, strength, hardness and wear characteristics. In general, a fully pearlitic matrix will have the best mechanical properties and will be readily machinable. Bars containing ferrite in the matrix will be easier to machine but will be lower in strength and wear resistance.
