 | | Torrance Iron:
Meeting your varied needs is our goal. We provide gray iron castings from a
base ASTM class 35 on an "A" bar. From this base, we inoculate
to get higher or lower classes of gray iron and a variety of irons with special
alloy requirements. We produce 65-45-12, 80-55-06 and 100-70-03 ductile iron as cast
and other grades of ductile iron through heat treatment, including Austempered
ductile iron. We also produce Ni-Hard, an abrasion-resistant special alloy
iron. We pour these irons in weights from 1 pound to 500 pounds.

| Strengths: |
The family of ADI materials routinely outperforms steel
casting, forgings, and fabrications in both structural and wear
applications. It is 8% to 10% lighter than steel. The lower hardness grades
of ADI are used in structural applications, while higher hardness are used
in wear applications. Grades 1 and 2 are machinable at fatigue strengths
higher than steel. The abrasive wear resistance of ADI meets or exceeds that
of steel at any hardness level. |
| Applications: |
Transportation, Construction, Agriculture,
Automotive, Military, and Power trains, etc. |

Abrasion resistant iron. |
| Applications: |
Crushing, grinding and pounding of coal to pulverize
it for transfer and slurry lines. Recovery of bottom and fly ash from
power plants, mixing and transferring sand, gravel, concrete, asphalt, and
other heavy abrasive materials. Corrosion and wear-resistant parts for
slurry pumps. Pipes and pipe fittings where long service and corrosion
resistance is required. |
