Shenzhen Alu Rapid Prototype Precision Co., Ltd.

Cast iron is the metal most frequently used in the casting process. It accounts for about 48% of global metal casting production, thanks to its excellent fluidity, low shrinkage during solidification, and ease of achieving desired mechanical properties. This makes it ideal for high-volume applications like engine blocks, pipes, and machinery components.Other common metals include aluminum (27%, valued for its lightweight and corrosion resistance), steel (13%, for high-strength parts), zinc (6%), and magnesium (4%). Ferrous metals like cast iron and steel dominate overall, comprising over 60% of the market, based on recent industry data.
