Commonly used materials for wind power castings are gray cast iron, ductile iron, high manganese steel and stainless steel.

1. Gray cast iron
Gray cast iron is usually used to manufacture some parts with small loads and no requirements for high strength and rigidity, such as counterweights, protective covers, etc.

2. Ductile iron
Ductile iron is often used to manufacture high load carrying capacity parts, such as bearing housings, bed frames, brackets, etc.

3. High manganese steel
High manganese steel is usually used to manufacture wear-prone parts, such as impellers and bearings.

4. Stainless steel
Stainless steel is often used to manufacture some high-demand parts, such as guides, fasteners, etc.
