Ductile Iron

Ductile iron, also known as nodular or spheroidal iron, is a type of cast iron known for its strength, toughness, and flexibility. It contains small spherical particles of graphite, which give it superior ability to absorb shock and resist cracking compared to ordinary cast iron. This material is commonly used in automotive parts, pipes, and machinery components because it combines durability with ease of casting and machining. Its unique microstructure allows it to bend slightly under stress without breaking, making it ideal for applications requiring both strength and flexibility.
