Ductile iron – also known as nodular or ductile iron – is actually a group of irons that exhibit high strength, flexibility, durability, and elasticity due to their unique microstructure. Ductile iron typically contains more than 3% carbon; it can be bent, twisted or deformed without cracking. Its mechanical properties are similar to steel and far exceed those of standard cast...

How does the gravity casting process work?Gravity die casting is one of the first metal and light alloy die casting processes invented. In this process, which can be fully automated, molten metal is poured directly from a ladle into semi-permanent or permanent molds.The goal is to fill the mold with minimal turbulence through one or more channels to reduce oxidation and foaming. This minimizes...
