Casting Pure Iron Rods – Xinye Taiming
Precision-Cast for Structural Integrity & Machinability
Product Overview
Xinye Taiming's casting-grade pure iron rods are engineered for foundries and machining workshops requiring consistent quality and dimensional stability. With ≥99.7% Fe purity and optimized carbon control (0.03–0.08%), our rods excel in applications demanding high ductility, uniform grain structure, and minimal porosity.

Physical Properties:
Diameter: 10–150mm (±0.5% tolerance).
Length: 1–6 meters (cut-to-length available).
Surface: As-cast rough finish or machined smooth (Ra ≤3.2μm).
Density: 7.83–7.86 g/cm³ (ASTM B311).
Hardness: 80–120 HB (annealed state).
Casting & Processing Technology
Raw Material:
Blended charge of primary iron and certified scrap (≤0.1% residuals).
Induction Furnace Melting:
Melted at 1550–1600°C under reducing atmosphere to limit oxidation.
Continuous Casting:
Vertical continuous casting for uniform cross-section.
Electromagnetic mold oscillation minimizes shrinkage voids.
Post-Processing:
Stress-relief annealing at 650°C to enhance machinability.
Shot blasting for scale removal (optional).
Quality Assurance:
Ultrasonic testing for internal defects (ASTM E114).
Compliance with DIN 17100, GB/T 9439, and JIS G 5501.

FAQ
Q1: What is the maximum bending strength of your rods?
A: Annealed rods achieve 250–300 MPa; normalized grades reach 350–400 MPa.
Q2: Can rods be galvanized for outdoor use?
A: Yes, we offer hot-dip galvanized or electroplated finishes (+15% cost).
Q3: Are your rods suitable for CNC lathe machining?
A: Absolutely. Annealed grades achieve surface roughness Ra ≤1.6μm with standard tools.
Q4: What packaging is used for long rods?
A: Bundled with steel straps, wrapped in anti-rust paper, and loaded on custom racks.
Q5: Do you supply non-standard cross-sections (e.g., hexagonal)?
A: Yes, hexagonal/square rods require a 15-ton MOQ and 20-day lead time.
Package
Pure iron is typically packaged with rust-preventive oil, wrapped in plastic film, and secured with plastic or metal straps. It is then placed on wooden pallets or in wooden crates, sometimes using moisture-proof paper or vacuum packaging for extra protection during transportation and storage.
