Pearlitic ductile iron

A type of special iron is called Pearlitic ductile iron, which is very strong and is used in various industrial and engineering applications. It is a type of  iron comprising two key contents — carbon and silicon. Unlike other cast iron foundry pearlitic ductile iron is produced via a novel manufacturing process. As a result of this special manufacturing process, pearlitic ductile iron has its own special properties and advantages, which in turn will make manufacturing pearlitic ductile iron the ideal choice for a variety of applications


Manufacturing and properties of pearlitic ductile iron

Pearlitic ductile iron contains spherical forms of carbon known as nodules within the matrix. So these nodules are actually very important because they add to the structural integrity of the iron. The formation and size of these nodules alter the iron properties during the process of production. Pearlitic ductile iron casting is extremely high in strength and can support heavy and load-bearing applications which makes it an ideal material in heavy equipment and tooling for the construction and manufacturing industries

Pearlitic ductile iron is widespread in many different applications, particularly in industrial and engineering applications. These irons are most commonly used in making machine parts. These parts are gears, bearing, hydraulic cylinders. All of these components need to be very strong, durable, and able to absorb high levels of stress and pressure while operating.
