Morrogh (England) and Gagnebin & Milles ( ) in IronA brief history & overviewDuctile iron *1 was invented and irst introduced in the United States and England in 1948*2. Cementite, a chemical compound of carbon and iron becomes molten at high temperatures and is transformed into graphite during the cooling process. In standard gray cast iron this graphite appears in the shape of lakes or lines which indicate the brittle nature of grey adding magnesium to the molten metal in combination with ferro silicon as an inoculant you can produce crystallized graphite in the shape of nodules.

2 This nodular or Ductile iron is very strong. The nodular graphite has a profound effect on the physical strength of the metal with the tensile strength increasing to a range of 65,000 - 80,000 psi, or two to three times stronger than gray cast iron . The tensile strength can be further increased to a range of 100,000 - 120,000 psi through proper heat pipe and ittings were among the irst Ductile iron applications due to the product strength requirements. Many automotive components also transitioned from gray and malleable iron to Ductile iron , thus taking advantage of the strength and weight beneits. Further technological advances in the late 1970 s along with the addition of rhenium (Re), a rare earth element, enabled the production of thin-wall castings to 1/8 or 3 mm.

Therefore over-tightening the itting can damage the pipe threads and create leaks. In general Ductile iron ittings require about one-half turn less than the equivalent gray cast ion itting.(1) Pipe Threads: All pipe threads must be fabricated to ANSI NPT ( or BSPT threads to ISO 7 depending on countries installed). Improper threads and or depth will affect sealing.(2) Clean Threads: All threads must be clean and free of rust and debris prior to application joint sealant (tape or paste).(3) Sealant Application: Apply a moderate amount of high quality sealant (Telon based pipe paste or Telon tape is recommended).
