Many of the engineering
properties of steel can be realized with Ductile Iron Casting. It
has the ability to be cast in heavier sections and can be used to
produce larger castings than malleable iron. Ductile Iron Casting
has replaced forgings, weld and steel castings in an ever increasing
number of applications.
Typical Applications for Ductile Iron
Casting:
Ductile Iron Casting is particularly well suited for Valves, Pump -
Gears and Rollers, Spring Hangers, Suspension Parts, Wheel Hubs,
Bearing Caps, Hardware, Universal Joints, Threadless Connectors and
Flanges, Various Automotive and Agricultural Items.
Advantages of Ductile Iron Casting:
Ductile Iron Casting provides Higher Tensile Strength, Less
Deflection Under Load Conditions, No Straightening Required in Most
Instances, No Problems With Hot Tears and Cracks, Good Mach
inability, Easier Feeding of Difficult Designs
