Common materials for gear pump bodies are cast iron, carbon steel, stainless steel and copper alloys.

Factors need to consider when selecting the gear pump body material:
1. Use environment
Select materials according to the use environment of the pump, such as the properties of the liquid, temperature, pressure, etc.
2. Economy
Select materials with moderate cost according to the budget.
3. Wear resistance
Consider the wear of the pump body during long-term use, and select materials with good wear resistance.
4. Processability
Select materials that are easy to process and manufacture to ensure the molding quality and efficiency of the pump body.
5. Corrosion resistance
Consider the degree of corrosion of the pump body during use, and select materials with good corrosion resistance.
