Mini Guide: Ductile Iron Casting Basics – Part 1
Ductile Iron, also called ductile cast iron or spheroidal graphite iron, is a cast iron type typically rich in graphite content. Ductile iron exhibits greater fatigue resistance due to its nodular structure. The application of ductile iron is diverse, including automobiles and water lines. Therefore, ductile iron is very popular among industrial manufacturers. Before we… Continue reading Mini Guide: Ductile Iron Casting Basics – Part 1
Understanding Ductile Iron: Properties, Benefits, and Applications
This week we attempt to present a generic overview of ductile iron. Ductile iron is also known as nodular iron or graphite iron. It was first patented in 1948, but it was only after a decade of intense technological research and development that its application as an engineering material was proved indispensable.
What are the environmental benefits of Ductile Iron Pipe?
Ductile Iron Pipes are built to last forever, and have withstood the vagaries of weather and natural calamities for several hundreds of years.
What is Ductile Iron Hardening Treatment and its Process?
If the ductile iron is subjected to hardening treatment, the surface hardness of castings can be increased, resulting in castings with good abrasive resistance and improved hardness. The usual quenching and tempering treatment results in increased surface hardness from approx
How do VR Foundries stand unique in Grey & Ductile Iron castings?
It is widely considered that Chinese manufacturers have great muscle power in terms of manufacturing capacity, the potential of market demands, cheap labour and management costs. But India is not far behind, and VR Foundries – Best foundries in India
What are the advantages of Ductile Iron?
Ductile iron castings are quite strong when compared to regular cast iron (grey iron). The tensile strength of ductile iron is between 60,000 psi and 120,000 psi, whereas that of ductile iron castings falls in the range 20,000 – 60,000 psi
The History of Ductile Iron | its origins and industrial impact
In Versailles, France, you can find the oldest operating cast iron water main installed in 1664. In North America alone, you can find more than 500 municipalities with cast iron pipes that have been around for close to 100 years
