Grades 60-40-18, 65-45-12, 80-55-06, 100-70-03 & 120-90-02
Ductile Iron offers the castability, machinability, and corrosion resistance of gray iron while adding the high strength, ductility, and hardening ability of steel. Our ductile iron castings are well known throughout the industry for high-impact resistance and a high modulus of elasticity and strength, resulting in heavier load capacity with less deflection.
