How Is Ductile Iron Casting Favouring The Indian
Economy?
2
Introduction

• Compared to ordinary gray iron, ductile iron has
  significantly higher mechanical strength
• It is considered ideal for designing manhole
  covers, wheels gear boxes and other industrial
  applications
• To keep pace with the evolving industry needs
  and technological advancements
• Top cast iron and ductile iron manhole cover
  exporters in India are regularly upgrading their
  portfolio.

Delivering Superior Elasticity and Flexibility

• Alternatively referred to as nodular iron or
  spheroidal iron, ductile iron has its custom
  microstructure
• It gives greater ductility and overall mechanical
  strength to the material
• The carbon content in ductile iron generally
  ranges between the 3 to 3.9 mark
• With greater strength and durability, ductile
  iron castings are finding usage in more and more
  applications.

Impact-Resistance Compressive Strength

• Enhanced machinability and overall reliability
  are key hallmarks of good-quality ductile iron
• The corrosion free material eliminates the
  chances of ductile iron manhole covers and other
  products getting accidentally damaged
• The mechanical fatigue levels are minimal even
  after long periods of use
• Thanks to the comparatively higher
  impact-resistance of ductile iron, cutting or
  drilling the material is a lot easier.

3. Better Shock Absorption Capabilities

• Leading cast iron manhole cover exporters in
  India make use of ductile iron for structural
  weldings
• Better weldability of ductile iron is an
  important factor behind its widespread adoption
  at foundries
• The considerably higher damping capacity of
  ductile iron ensures excellent shock absorption
  capabilities as well
• While gray iron has an even higher damping
  capacity, it tends to become non-elastic at low
  stress levels.

4. Machining Advantages Of Ductile Iron

• The top ductile iron product manufacturers, like
  Crescent Foundry, use premium grade raw material
  their casting products
• The presence of relatively high volume of silicon
  in ductile iron enhances overall machining
  capabilities
• While the better spindle speeds and considerably
  higher feed rates add to the overall usability
  and handling convenience of ductile iron
• The material also has optimal depth to diameter
  drilling proportions.

5. Available In A Wide Range Of Sizes

• Better customisation and quality commitment make
  the top manhole cover manufacturers stand out
• The load ratings of these products typically
  range from A15, B125 and C250, to F900
• Depending on the precise nature of applications,
  the sizes of ductile iron products can vary
• The leak-proof assurance, powerful locking
  provisions and painting options helps the
  usability of ductile iron further.

6. The Economical Choice

• In order to deliver the best value to customers
  manufacturers suppliers follow agile
  cost-effective production technologies
• Since the cost of manufacturing is managed
  effectively, the ductile iron products are made
  available at competitive rates
• In terms of performance, efficiency, reliability
  and durability, ductile iron is better than gray
  iron and many low-alloy steels.
