Cast alloys comprising 20 to 35 wt. % nickel; 25% to 42.5 wt. % chromium; 1.5 to 2.5 wt. % carbon; 0.5 to 2.0 wt. % manganese; 0.25 to 2.0 wt. % silicon; 0 to 1.5 wt. % aluminum; 0 to 0.5 wt. % titanium, niobium, tantalum combined, 0 to 1 wt. % copper, other residual elements up to 0.5 wt. %, and iron to bring the total percentage to 100 wt. %, are described. The cast alloys can be used to form components for mixers, turbines and pumps, such as impellers, diffusers, and spacers, or for fracking operations as seats or flow diverters, as well as other oil and gas or energy industry components. In some applications, the cast alloys are custom made for downhole electro submersible pump applications.

The sideframe and bolster of a railway car truck are constructed such that basic overall sideframe and bolster appearance is maintained, but the actual material it is constructed of is changed. The material used is changed from cast steel to an austempered metal, such as, cast austempered ductile iron; whereas cast iron has a density, 0.26 lbs/in{circumflex over ( )}3, which is approximately 8% less than steel, 0.283 lbs/in{circumflex over ( )}3. This immediately allows for a reduction in weight. A second benefit is that iron is easier to pour than steel and actually increases in volume, slightly, as metal cools compared to steel which shrinks. Efficient use of materials is improved, meaning less metal is used to make the same final shape, as a way of reducing the sideframe and bolster weight. Both factures combined allow for a lighter weight railway car truck, sideframe and bolster, while utilizing standard designs.
