Production of continuous casting cast iron round bars
Continuous casting technology produces cast iron bars with a uniform and controlled internal structure throughout their entire cross-section. This production process allows for the progressive solidification of the metal, reducing structural defects and ensuring consistent mechanical characteristics.
The cast iron round bars produced and marketed by Fonderia Quaglia & Colombo are designed to meet the needs of precision mechanical machining, ensuring dimensional stability, good machinability with machine tools, and reliable performance over time.

Technical characteristics of cast iron round bars
Cast iron round bars are distinguished by a combination of properties that make them suitable for numerous industrial applications. Among the most notable aspects are:
- absence of internal porosity, thanks to the control of the casting process
- good mechanical resistance, in relation to the alloy used
- excellent workability, which allows for a reduction in processing times
- structural stability, even after complex mechanical processes.
These characteristics make cast iron round bars an efficient technical solution for the production of mechanical components, turned parts and pieces intended for subsequent treatments.
