Ductile Iron Casting
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advantages:
• Ductile iron has the ability to be used as-cast and without heat treatments or other further refining.
• It has a tensile strength comparable to many steel alloys and a modulus of elasticity between that of gray iron and steel.
• It has a high degree of ductility.
• Ductile iron has a clear advantage where low solidification shrinkage is needed to avoid hot tears or where the section is too thick to permit solidification as white iron.
