Description

What is Ductile Iron?

Ductile Iron is an iron/carbon/silicon alloy. When magnesium is added to the molten iron the graphite forms in spheres rather than in flakes. This transformation virtually eliminates brittleness and produces a strong, ductile material

Strength of Ductile Iron

Mechanical Properties
Ductile iron displays excellent mechanical properties, such as high resistance to tensile
stresses and impact loads, high elongation and high yield strength. These properties
make the material the most universally applicable pipeline material today.
