Mechanical Properties of 80-55-06 Ductile Iron

The reason 80-55-06 ductile iron is used for so many castings comes down to its pearlite/ferrite structure. It contains nodular graphite with a matrix of pearlite and ferrite. Trace amounts of sulfur and phosphorous also are added to help stabilize the metal’s structure. These qualities ensure this iron is highly machinable and produces good surface finishes. In addition, it also offers strong wear resistance and strength compared to other metals.

Applications and Benefits of 80-55-06 Cast Iron

Thanks in large part to its strong resistance to wear and ability to produce good surface finishes, ASTM A536 80-55-06 ductile iron is used frequently to produce components across a wide range of industries. For example, it is commonly found in the automotive sector as a preferred metal for casting gears, due to its durability. Steel mills often use it for machinery components including pinch rolls and guide rolls. In the power transmission sector, many gears and pulleys are cast using 80-55-06 ductile iron. Many manufacturers also choose 80-55-06 ductile iron for casting numerous general components, including flywheels, bushings, rollers and more.
