Ductile iron offers excellent properties for numerous applications and parts produced through the investment casting process. The structure and composition of ductile iron can produce parts with precise definition that virtually eliminates the need for machining and extensive finishing. It is also reasonably resistant to corrosion compared to some other alloys. Ductile iron can be used in diverse industries and applications, from petrochemicals, mining and railways to pumps, valves, hydro, architectural and more.
