3. Manufacturing Flow: Cast Iron Spears Production Process

Key nodes explained:

Raw Iron Charging: Selection of best EN-GJL-200 grade iron; ensures high graphite flake concentration for impact resistance.
Melting: Advanced induction furnaces, strict temperature control guarantees isotropic structure.
Surface Coating: Zinc-rich powder or epoxy paint, tested for 1000 salt-spray hours (per ASTM B117).
Quality Inspection: Non-destructive testing (NDT), dimensional/corrosion checks, conforming to ISO 9001 and ASTM A48.

decorative iron spears: Machined and coated for ornamental fence tops.

4. Key Technical Parameters & Market Data Visualization

    Key Takeaway: In the last 5 years, cast iron spear points average tensile strength has increased 18%, while average salt-spray test hours rose by 60% due to improved coatings and micro-alloying, ensuring better longevity and enhanced anti-rust performance.

9. FAQ: Cast Iron Spears Technical Q&A

Q1: What is the primary material grade for cast iron spears?

A: Industry-standard options are Gray Cast Iron (EN-GJL-200/ASTM A48 Class 30B) and Ductile Iron (EN-GJS-400). The former ensures high wear-resistance, the latter offers superior ductility and impact resistance for fence tips.

Q2: What anti-corrosion standards are recognized?

A: ASTM B117 for salt-spray testing and ISO 9227 for cyclic corrosion are major benchmarks. Coated cast iron spear points achieving over 1000hr on these tests are best in class.

Q3: Are sizes and bases customizable?

A: Yes. Heights (40–350mm), diameters (10–32mm), socket/base interfaces, and decorative motifs can all be customized according to site drawings or provided samples.

Q4: What installation standards apply?

A: For fencing, ANSI 358.0, ASTM F2408, and Euro EN 10223-4 are referenced, requiring pull-out strength ≥1.5kN and accurate tolerance of

Q5: What is the typical lead time and warranty?

A: Standard production: 3–5 weeks for regular orders, 6–7 weeks for bespoke models. Warranty extends up to 5 years for anti-rust failure/premature cracking (see TJJ policy).

Q6: How are ornamental iron spears different from basic spear points?

A: Ornamental spears integrate complex shapes, scrolls, and floral motifs, commonly cast via resin sand molds or forged, and meticulously hand-finished, optimizing both strength and artistic detail.

Q7: What certifications should a manufacturer provide?

A: Ideally, ISO 9001:2015 (QMS), relevant American or EU product standards (ASTM/EN), and third-party test reports. TJJ offers certification support upon request.
