Gray Iron Castings by MACA Casting and Machine

We bring decades of expertise to producing gray iron castings at MACA Casting. Our team is highly skilled in working with gray iron, an alloy known for its unique graphite flake structure and outstanding mechanical properties. MACA’s advanced foundry capabilities ensure that every casting is produced with precision, durability, and quality, meeting the needs of diverse applications in hydraulic systems, automotive components, heavy machinery, and more.

Gray Iron’s Structure and Benefits

Gray iron’s composition includes carbon and iron and traces of silicon and manganese. MACA’s foundry leverages this structure to create castings that offer exceptional strength, impact resistance, and thermal stability. The presence of graphite flakes enables our gray iron castings to absorb vibrations effectively, making them ideal for parts exposed to frequent or intense operational stress.
