Current Cast Iron & Pig Iron Prices in China: Market Trends & Analysis

China’s Pig Iron & Cast Iron Prices: Market Updates from Dandong Pengxin

At Dandong Pengxin, we closely monitor pig iron price trends in China to ensure competitive pricing for our clients. We also provide real-time cast iron prices on our website, covering gray iron castings (produced via green sand and resin sand processes) and ductile iron castings, helping buyers stay informed about the Chinese market.

Price Accuracy & Sources

• Pig iron prices are sourced from reputable industry platforms and cross-checked against our actual procurement costs, ensuring reliable and representative data.

• Cast iron prices reflect average market rates for reference only. Final quotes depend on:

  • Unit weight, annual order volume, and design complexity.

  • Material specifications (e.g., GG15-GG35 for gray iron; GGG40-GGG80 for ductile iron).

  • Dimensional tolerances, surface/internal quality requirements.

  Note: For precise quotations, submit drawings and technical requirements. Rough estimates may lead to profit losses for both buyers and suppliers.

The Link Between Pig Iron and Cast Iron Prices

Pig iron is the primary raw material for cast iron. A price increase of 110 USD/ton in pig iron typically translates to a similar rise in cast iron prices. Thus, pig iron market fluctuations directly impact casting costs.

Material Grade & Pricing

Higher-grade irons command premium pricing due to:

• Technical demands: Grades like GG30/GG35 (gray iron) or GGG60-GGG80 (ductile iron) require stricter process control.

• Recyclability: Lower grades (e.g., GG20) allow reuse of scrap (gates/feeders), reducing costs. High-grade scrap often must wait for matching production batches, raising material waste risks.
