[MW:7371] Re: Material for Boiler Diffuser (Impellers)

Dear Mr. Ali,

There is a so called white cast Iron called HR, I don't know if this
is the material used in your boiler but this material is similar to
ASTM A319 Class D and application area of this material is for non
pressure containing parts at elevated temperatures so in my opinion
should be suitable for your application. There is also mentioned a
class III (could be 3 of your drawing).

Best Regards

Herman Pieper
