Ductile iron is known by several names: ductile cast iron, spheroidal graphite iron, spheroidal graphite cast iron, nodular cast iron, and SG iron. Keith Millis discovered it in 1943. Because of its nodular graphite inclusions, ductile iron is substantially more impact and fatigue resistant than other cast-iron variants. Ductile iron is a composite material that may be made to have a variety of properties by manipulating its microstructure. The form of graphite is the distinctive feature of this category of materials. Graphite in ductile irons is in the form of nodules rather than flakes as in grey iron.
Market Dynamics
The increasing production of automobile components in developing economies, and the expansion of industrial activities, are the primary factors driving the market's growth. In addition, ductile cast iron has several advantages over steel, including being manufactured at a considerably cheaper cost than steel, having an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, and superior castability and machinability. Because the castings are so fluid, it is feasible to fill moulds with the liquid iron itself, allowing for the creation of complicated shapes. Even in steel pipe systems, valves or other elements (which have complex shaped bodies) are composed of ductile cast iron. The factors stated above are likely to augment the market growth over the years.
