Ductile iron is an iron/carbon/silicon alloy with a nodular graphite structure that produces a strong, ductile material. With more than double the tensile strength and much higher ductility than that of cast iron, ductile iron pipes are simple to joint, can be laid in all weather conditions and often without the need for selected backfill. Its high safety factor and ability to accommodate ground movement make it the ideal pipeline material for a wide range of applications.
