The report has profiled various noteworthy players in the global ductile iron casting market.

List of key developments made by key players operating in the ductile iron pipes market

"The older gray cast iron pipe that ductile iron replaced was first installed in the early 1800s, and thousands of miles of gray iron pipe continues to serve reliably after more than 100 years of service," said Jeff Otterstedt, executive vice president, McWane Ductile.

This criterion states that the fracture type changes from brittle to ductile if the yield stress drops below the fracture stress.

"One might want to do this by introducing obstacles on the atomic scale." Although the aim of these experiments is to understand the behavior of ductile materials, Spence says, the new technique may help in designing flexible alloys less likely to fracture under intense heat or stress-like the conditions that can cause jet engine turbine blades to fail.

Ductile iron pipe design is covered by ANSI/AWWA C150/A21.50.

The report provides a basic overview of the Ductile Cast Iron industry including definition, classification, application and industry chain structure.

The investment allows for increased production of ductile iron from 35 tons per hour to 42 tons per hour, an increase of 20%.

American Ductile iron Pipe is the industry leader in the promotion of ductile iron pipe for installation using several trenchless technology methods, including pipebursting and horizontal direction drilling.

Ductile iron, in fact, has been used in some European machine tools since the early 1980s.

Their work has shown that gray iron (the garden-variety cast iron used extensively until ductile iron came on the scene in the 1960s) and the far-stronger ductile cast iron suffer somewhat equally from bacterial-enhanced corrosion.

Summary: Owing to its uniquely high tensile performance and superlative flexibility owing to nodular graphite, ductile iron pipes have actively replaced conventional cast iron pipes across several end-user applications such as sewer and water line applications where corrosion remains a major functional hindrance.
