Cast ductile iron (80-60-03) vs cast 8620
Cast ductile iron (80-60-03) vs cast 8620
(OP)
We make a fabrication of an auger that consists of welding a cast 8620 flight to a 8620 steel shaft. We are having a difficult time meeting our delivery requirements based on the lead times for the cast flights. A foundry we talked to suggested we use a 80-60-03 ductile cast iron as a replacement for the the cast 8620 flight. Does anyone see any obvious/major reasons not to consider this option if price and delivery can be improved over the cast steel?
