Is ductile iron durable enough for my demanding farming operation?
Yes, ductile iron is more than durable enough for the most demanding farming operations due to both its elongation and hardness properties (especially after austempering).
Are ductile iron castings an inexpensive replacement for steel weldments and fabrications?
Ductile iron castings for farm equipment are typically less expensive to produce than the equivalent part made from steel. This is because ductile iron requires less energy to heat to a molten state, pours more readily, and fills complex shapes with less shrinkage (therefore requiring less material). These cost savings add up quickly in large-scale production!
