Hi Chrome Granding media

HI-CHROME GRANDING MEDIA

Among Fe alloys chromium cast irons are specific group of materials, which characterize themselves for very high resistance on abrasive
HI-CHROME Irons are the first true alloyed Abrasive Resistant irons in commercial production since
Ferrous Matrix Flexibility of Hi-Chrome Irons, makes it available for wide range of applications
In 1950, MAGOTTEAUX developed first Cast Chromium Balls in its foundry at
MAGOTTEAUX has developed over 150 types of Hi-chrome compositions by varying alloying & Heat treatment procedures for each specific application

Chromium cast irons contain carbon ranging from 2 to 4% and chromium from 5 to 30%.

Besides chromium, Nickel and Molybdenum ranging from 3% to 5% are also added to achieve the required microstructure made up of desired matrix and carbides

Hi-Chrome Steel: With lower percentages of Carbon in the metal, the Hi-chrome steel are known for their impact resistance and low wearing

Hi Chrome Iron: With varying Carbon content in the metal, selected for suitable application, these offer high wear resistant

As cast Microstructure of Hi-Chrome Irons (based on the chemical composition) can easily be
Ferritic
Pearlitic
Bainitic
Martensitic
Austentic
