High Silicon Molybdenum Ductile Iron

High silicon molybdenum ductile iron (also known as HiSiMo iron) is one of the most popular choices for castings when extreme heat resistance is required. Manufacturers need to know that the components they cast in this alloy will be capable of withstanding some of the most punishing conditions within high-performance equipment. That’s why so many of them turn to Hiler Industries.

Our expertise in casting ductile iron includes HiSiMo alloys, and we bring a considerable amount of experience as well as extensive in-house capabilities to ensure the highest levels of quality. Whatever the application, our proven shell mold casting technique gives you castings that will meet and exceed your expectations while adhering as closely as possible to your specifications. Hiler Industries is your go-to source for HiSiMo casting that stands up to any challenge.

Composition and Properties of HiSiMo Ductile Iron

This is a variation of spheroid graphite cast iron that contains higher amounts of silicon and molybdenum. This gives it a much higher resistance to heat and thermal cycling when compared to other alloys. The high silicon content also helps this form of iron resist corrosion when exposed to harsher environments.

Industrial Applications of High Silicon Molybdenum Ductile Iron

The exceptional thermal properties and corrosion resistance of HiSiMo ductile iron make it ideally suited for a wide range of components for high-performance applications. Many engine parts such as turbochargers, heat exchangers, and exhaust manifolds are cast using this metal, thanks to its ability to withstand frequent fluctuations in temperature. Marine manufacturers also choose this alloy for engine components because of the higher resistance to corrosion it provides.

The expertise Hiler Industries brings to the table means we can cast a wide range of parts using this metal. This is the main reason why so many manufacturers across multiple industries depend on us.

Why Work With Hiler Industries?

Since 1946, we’ve been the foundry of choice for manufacturers in multiple sectors. A large part of that is because of our willingness to push the envelope when it comes to techniques and technology. For instance, we were one of the first foundries in the nation to use the shell mold casting technique.  The shell mold casting process provides predictability and consistency, allowing Hiler Industries to apply automation throughout our facilities seamlessly.  

We hold numerous industry awards and certifications, which speaks to the high quality of what we do as well as our commitment to doing right by our customers in everything we do. We’re dedicated to providing our customers with the highest levels of service and professionalism, and we never stop looking for ways to improve what we offer.
