BS 2789 700/2 is a grade of ductile iron or SG iron, so called because the graphite forms nodules or spheres - Spheroidal Graphite.
The rounded graphite nodules produces a more ductile cast iron compared to grey iron which contains graphite in flake form. The graphite spheres inhibits the propagation of cracks. SG iron has a greater fatigue and impact resistance compared to grey iron.
Ductile iron offers several advantages over castings in mild steel, it offers very good machinability and a superior surface finish. Ductile iron is less brittle than grey iron and offers compressive strength comparable to many low and medium carbon steels, it also offers a weight advantage as it is approximately 10% lighter than steel.
