  2. Ductile iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductile_iron

    Ductile iron, also known as ductile cast iron, nodular cast iron, spheroidal graphite iron, spheroidal graphite cast iron[1] and SG iron, is a type of graphite -rich cast iron discovered in 1943 by Keith Millis. [2] While most varieties of cast iron are weak in tension and brittle, ductile iron has much more impact and fatigue resistance, due ...

  3. Compacted graphite iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compacted_graphite_iron

    Compacted graphite iron (CGI), also known as vermicular graphite iron (GJV, VG, [1] JV[2] or GGV from the German: "Gusseisen mit Vermiculargraphit"[3]) especially in non-English speaking countries, [4] is a metal which is gaining popularity in applications that require either greater strength, or lower weight than cast iron.

  4. Ductile iron pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ductile_iron_pipe

    Ductile iron pipe. Section of DICL pipe (ductile iron concrete lined), commonly used for utility water mains, showing iron casing, concrete lining, and textured polymer protective coatings on the inner and outer surfaces. Ductile iron pipe is pipe made of ductile cast iron commonly used for potable water transmission and distribution. [1]

  5. Austempered Ductile Iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austempered_Ductile_Iron

    Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) is a form of ductile iron that enjoys high strength and ductility as a result of its microstructure controlled through heat treatment. While conventional ductile iron was discovered in 1943 and the austempering process had been around since the 1930s, the combination of the two technologies was not commercialized ...

  6. Work hardening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_hardening

    Work hardening, also known as strain hardening, is the process by which a material's load-bearing capacity (strength) increases during plastic (permanent) deformation. This characteristic is what sets ductile materials apart from brittle materials. [1] Work hardening may be desirable, undesirable, or inconsequential, depending on the application.

  7. Ultimate tensile strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_tensile_strength

    Ultimate tensile strength (also called UTS, tensile strength, TS, ultimate strength or in notation) [1] is the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking. In brittle materials, the ultimate tensile strength is close to the yield point, whereas in ductile materials, the ultimate tensile strength ...

  8. Austempering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austempering

    Austempering is heat treatment that is applied to ferrous metals, most notably steel and ductile iron. In steel it produces a bainite microstructure whereas in cast irons it produces a structure of acicular ferrite and high carbon, stabilized austenite known as ausferrite. It is primarily used to improve mechanical properties or reduce ...

  9. Cast iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cast_iron

    Cast iron is a class of iron – carbon alloys with a carbon content of more than 2% and silicon content around 1–3%. [1] Its usefulness derives from its relatively low melting temperature. The alloying elements determine the form in which its carbon appears: white cast iron has its carbon combined into an iron carbide named cementite, which ...
