Malleable iron vs. ductile iron — it's a choice that will make or break your project. Learn what sets them apart, and how to choose the best type for your application.

Ductile iron comes in grades, which are determined by the iron's tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation rate. Here's how to choose a grade for your project.

Ductile iron is a material known for its high tensile strength and high yield strength. But what's the difference between the two, and why are they so important?

Austempered ductile iron is a form of ductile iron treated in molten salt. It's often used for critical applications due to its increased toughness and wear resistance.

Complex casting can be difficult due to the need for near-net casting and a safely removable mold. Sand casting creates an accurate mold that can be easily removed.

Ductile iron is an excellent material for recreational equipment. Its durability, flexibility, and versatility make it suitable for suspension systems, weights, and more.

Ductile iron is an ideal material for rail parts, providing superior strength and flexibility to gray iron while being less expensive to create than steel.

Robotic grinding machines promise greater precision and productivity. But, are robotic grinding and polishing upgrades worth it for manufacturers and consumers? Find out!

Time for ductile iron casting 101 as we look at the process of mold pattern making in the foundry. Read how we create the perfect casting pattern for ductile iron parts.
