The golden age of ductile iron.(1998 Keith D. Millis World Symposium on Ductile Iron highlights)

From: Foundry Management & Technology | Date: February 1, 1999| Author: Heine, Hans J. | Copyright information

The 1998 Keith D. Millis World Symposium on Ductile Iron cosponsored by the Ductile Iron Society and American Foundrymen's Society was held last Oct 20-22, at Hilton Head, SC. The event featured 21 technical papers highlighting current developments that would contribute to surging demands for ductile iron in the future. One paper focused on current trends in ductile iron melting and magnesium treatment. Another focused on graphite formation in cast iron with particular interest on the austeni...

Make it a ductile
Hydraulics & Pneumatics ; Mention a custom-machined manifold, and a block of steel comes to mind for most people. However, for the past few decades, ductile iron has served as a cost effective alternative to carbon steel. Although people often perceive any cast iron as hard, brittle, and difficult to machine, Bob O'Rourke,
Designs in Ductile Iron.(Brief Article)
Resource: Engineering & Technology for a Sustainable World ; Designs in Ductile Iron is a 28-page brochure that touts the advantage of using ductile iron. Free for engineers and designers that specify metal components. Also included is a listing of Ductile Iron Society member foundries that cast ductile iron. Ductile Iron Marketing Group, 28938 Lorain Rd.,
Use of ductile iron pipe with HDD, pipebursting growing.
Underground Construction ; The number of potable water system and sanitary sewer projects that include the installation of ductile iron pipe made by horizontal directional drilling (HDD) is steadily increasing, say representatives of the ductile iron pipe industry. Trenchless installation of ductile iron pipe in various
Distributor adds value to bar stock
Hydraulics & Pneumatics ; Thirty years ago, Wells Manufacturing Co., Woodstock, Ill., introduced U.S. industry to their Dura-Bar ductile iron in continuous-cast round, square, and rectangular solid bars, and round tubes. Ductile-iron bars have been enthusiastically accepted as alternatives to steel and leaded-steel bars.
Ductile iron proves effective with HDD, pipebursting: study counters common misconceptions regarding ductile iron pipe.
Underground Construction ; In many ways, plastic pipe and horizontal directional drilling seem to be made for one another. Of course, plastic pipe was introduced many years before the development of the horizontal directional drilling (HDD) machines designed for utility construction, but as directional drills took over an
