  1. Ductile iron - Wikipedia

    • Ductile iron, also known as ductile cast iron, nodular cast iron, spheroidal graphite iron, spheroidal graphite cast iron and SG iron, is a type of graphite-rich cast iron discovered in 1943 by Keith Millis. While most varieties of cast iron are weak in tension and brittle, ductile iron has much more impact and fatigue resistance, due to its nodular graphite incl… See more

    Metallurgy

    Ductile iron is not a single material but part of a group of materials which can be produced with a wide range of properties … See more

    Composition

    Elements such as copper or tin may be added to increase tensile and yield strength while simultaneously reducing ductility. Improved corrosion resistance can be achieved by replacing 15–30% of the iron in the alloy wi… See more

    Applications

    Much of the annual production of ductile iron is in the form of ductile iron pipe, used for water and sewer lines. It competes with polymeric materials such as PVC, HDPE, LDPE and polypropylene, which are all much lighte… See more

  4. Ductile (Nodular) Iron – EngineeringTechnology.org

    Ductile iron, also known as nodular cast iron or nodular iron, is a cast iron alloy with distinctive properties, including impact and fatigue resistance, elongation, and wear resistance. These properties arise from the spheroidal graphite …

  5. Types, Properties, and Applications of Ductile Iron

    Ductile iron, an alloy of iron and carbon, is a special type of cast iron having properties comparable to steel. Due to its unique microstructure, ductile iron exhibits high strength, durability, flexibility, and elasticity.
