Overview
2Dura-Bar ductile iron is a cost-saving alternative to low-medium carbon steels and has similar strengths with excellent free machining properties. The nodular graphite provides the same free machining benefits as lead, without creating the machining and waste disposal problems. 65-45-12, 80-55-06, 100-70-03 and 60-40-18 will conform to ASTM A536, with the primary difference being the high nodule count and fine grain size inherent to the Dura-Bar continuous casting process. SSDI is similar to ISO 1083/JS/500-10. The different grades are produced by controlling the matrix structure around the graphite nodules.

Material Property Comparison Chart
Dura-Bar is an ideal alternative for many steel applications, particularly for carbon steel grades such as 1010, 1018, 1040, 1045, 1141, 1144, 1212, 1214, 1215, 1218, and 12L14. Depending on the application, even some grades of alloy bar are an excellent fit for Dura-Bar.
