Ductile iron is obtained by ballning and inoculation to obtain spherical
graphite, effectively improving the mechanical properties of cast iron, in
particular, to improve the plasticity and toughness, resulting in higher
strength than carbon steel. The heavy cast iron are generally gray iron cast,
gray cast iron tensile strength, plasticity and toughness is much lower than the
steel, but the compressive strength and steel quite, is also commonly used cast
iron in the worst mechanical properties of cast iron.
