Iron is a metal element with an atomic number of 26 and a chemical formula of iron: Fe. Pure iron is white or silvery white with metallic luster. The melting point of 1538 ° C, the boiling point of 2750 ° C, soluble in strong acid and medium strong acid, insoluble in water.

Appearance and shape: Pure iron is a metal crystal with a silvery white metallic luster, usually in the form of gray to grayish black high-purity iron-colored amorphous fine particles or powder.
Has good ductility, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity.
It has strong ferromagnetism and is a magnetic material.

Iron is an indispensable metal in the industrial sector.

Among them, cast iron is one of the common materials in the centrifugal pump industry.


A general term for an alloy of iron, carbon and silicon.
Cast iron can be divided into: gray cast iron. White cast iron. Malleable cast iron. Ductile iron. Vermicular graphite cast iron. Alloy cast iron parts.
