Ductile iron material

Ductile iron is a kind of high-strength cast iron material developed in the s. Its comprehensive performance is close to that of steel. It is precisely based on its excellent performance that it has been successfully used to cast some parts with complex stress and high requirements for strength, toughness and wear resistance. Ductile iron has rapidly developed into a very widely used cast iron material, second only to gray iron. The so-called 'replacing steel with iron' mainly refers to nodular cast iron.

Spheroidal graphite is obtained by spheroidizing and inoculation of nodular cast iron, which effectively improves the mechanical properties of cast iron, especially the plasticity and toughness, thus obtaining higher strength than carbon steel.

What Is Iron Casting?

Iron casting is a manufacturing process that involves pouring molten material into a mold to take its shape. The solidified metal is known as a casting, which is immediately removed off the mold once properly cooled. The casting can directly be used once cooled. 

While different materials can be ejected from or taken out of a mold, hot metals are the most common materials used. Iron is by far the most popular metal that is being turned into parts by this method. The alternatives are cold-setting materials like epoxy, concrete, plaster, and clay. 

Fountain Foundry's Iron Castings

We provide affordable and high-quality castings at Fountain Foundry. Our team specializes in two types of iron castings: gray iron and ductile iron casting. We'll be happy to recommend the ideal type depending on your unique needs.

Gray Iron Casting

The name gray iron comes from the grayish hue that the metal exhibits after the casting process. Castings made of gray iron use an alloy of 95% iron, 2.1 to 4% carbon, and 1 to 3% silicon. Gray iron is ideal for OEM (original equipment manufacturing), automotive, and aerospace applications.

We recommend gray iron to companies looking for durable components. Gray iron is known for the following properties:

Ductile Iron Casting

The presence of magnesium in ductile iron makes it the preferred choice for durable parts. The mineral is applied before the casting process to produce an impact-resistant, durable metal that can last for years. 

It's the metal of choice for some companies due to its lighter weight and impressive corrosion resistance, the latter factor being particularly significant for some industries.

Here are its other features:

• Superb surface detail
• Appealing surface finish
• High strength-to-weight ratio
