What Is SiMo Ductile Iron Castings

High Silicon Molybdenum is also referred to as SiMo Ductile Iron and High Silicon Moly. This material is a variation SG Iron that offers superior heat resisting characteristics.

SiMo ductile iron castings refer to ductile iron castings that contain silicon and molybdenum as two important alloying elements. These alloying elements are added to ductile iron to enhance its mechanical properties, such as strength, wear resistance, and toughness.

SiMo ductile iron castings are often used in applications where high strength and wear resistance are required, such as in the automotive industry for components like crankshafts, gears, and piston rings, exhaust manifold. The addition of silicon and molybdenum can improve the overall performance of the castings, making them suitable for demanding applications.
