Why continuous cast iron?
Versa Bar's unique composition makes it an attractive alternative to traditional metals like aluminum, bronze, steel, and brass. Graphite’s microstructure helps retain oil and keep parts lubricated for longer. It also functions as a built-in chip breaker, making it milled and finished much faster than other metals.
Versa-Bar is even partially self-lubricating, limiting the change of tool damage should there be oil loss.
New tooling and coolant technologies allow Versa-Bar to machine at rates equal to or better than many metals today. Versa-Bar’s unique metallurgic makeup remains very strong. The V-4 grade features a tensile strength of 80,000 psi. This grade can be heat treated to reach 100,000 psi.
Select Versa-Bar, and you will get a better product with lower finishing costs. Spend less and get more by letting Lawton Standard machine finish your custom components from continuous cast iron.
