The graphite no longer exists in flake form but precipitates in a spherical form. The possibility of crack propagation lines is therefore eliminated. Graphite precipitation in spheroidal form is obtained by the controlled addition of small amount of magnesium to the previously desulfurized base iron. Within the last fifty years ductile iron as an important material has been used in producing wide varieties of products as pipes, fittings, valves, manhole covers ....etc. | |||||||||||||||
