Ductile Iron Casting

Willman Industries’ Ductile Iron Foundry produces a family of cast graphitic irons possessing high strength, resistance to shock and ductility. Ductile iron castings resist fracture even when being bent, twisted or deformed. Its strength, toughness and ductility greatly exceed that of standard grey irons and its properties are very similar to many grades of steel. Additionally Ductile Iron has a lower cost of casting procedure compared to steel; as well as the advantage of design flexibility. (If you are wondering, “What is Ductile Iron?” check out our link.)

Ductile Iron castings have good toughness and high elasticity and can be considered comparable to carbon steel in strength. It is often used to produce iron parts which require high strength, toughness and complex shapes. At Willman Industries Ductile Iron Foundry, our castings perform consistently in strength and toughness because we use the best raw materials.

Ductile Iron’s cast performance is better than steel and is normally used for castings requiring larger load and a higher mechanical complexity. As the second foundry in the country to produce ductile iron we have know about its superior characteristics since 1949. Back in the early days of Ductile Iron people traveled from all over the world to learn how to make Ductile Iron from Willman Industries and even today we are the experts in ductile Iron castings.
