What is ductile iron?
Ductile iron, also known as nodular cast iron, is a type of cast iron known for its high tensile strength, ductility, and impact resistance due to its graphite microstructure being in the form of nodules rather than flakes. It is commonly used in pipes, automotive components (like crankshafts and suspension parts), and machinery parts where strength and toughness are required.
What other technologies are related to ductile iron?
ductile iron Competitor Technologies
HDPE
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) pipes are a competitor to ductile iron pipes, particularly in water and gas distribution, due to their corrosion resistance and flexibility.
steel
Steel, particularly steel pipes, competes with ductile iron in various applications such as pipelines and structural components, though steel is often more susceptible to corrosion than ductile iron unless treated.
PVC
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes compete with ductile iron pipes in some lower-pressure applications, especially in water and sewer lines, due to their lower cost and corrosion resistance.
copper
Copper pipes can be considered a competitor, particularly in smaller diameter water distribution systems, due to its corrosion resistance and antimicrobial properties.
