Ductile Iron
At Trumbull, we create ductile iron castings by pouring molten ductile iron into molds, allowing it to cool and solidify into strong, reliable metal components for a wide range of industries.
What Are Ductile Iron Castings?
Ductile iron castings, also known as nodular cast iron, are made by controlling the graphite formation into spheroidal shapes rather than flakes. This structure gives ductile iron exceptional tensile strength, flexibility, and impact resistance, making it a preferred choice for high-performance and structural applications across various industries.

Applications for Ductile Iron Castings
Ductile iron castings are commonly used in applications that demand strength, durability, and resistance to fatigue. Industries such as automotive, heavy equipment, water infrastructure, and agriculture rely on ductile iron for components like gears, axles, crankshafts, pressure pipes, and structural supports.
