Cast Iron with nodular graphite (GGG) is an iron carbon casting material having the carbon component present as graphite which exists almost exclusively in a largely nodular form. Ductile iron is most popular metal material. www.castingquality.com
Reference Casting Standards:
DIN 1693 part 1: Cast Iron with Nodular Graphite Unalloyed and Low Alloy Grades.
DIN 1693 Part 2: Cast Iron with Nodular Graphite Unalloyed and Low Alloy Grades Properties in Cast on Test Piece

Ductile Iron Heat treatment process: www.castingquality.com
Generally ductile iron will be supplied in casting condition if no special requirement. But to improve iron property, the heat treatment process can be chosen based on different microstructure and final application, such as Annealing, Tempering, Quenching and Normalizing. Pls contact with Casting Quality for details.
Ductile Iron Typical Casting Application
- GGG40: good weld able property and machining property; it’s the popular iron for machinery, valve, truck, railway, gearbox, flywheels etc.
- GGG50: better strength, mostly used in engineer, , railway, motor etc.
- GGG60: little better abrasive property.
- GGG70/GGG80: high strength and abrasive property. It will be used in high strength application.
