Ductile iron castings are widely used in automobile industry, including brake components, transmission, engine components, suspension and steering systems etc.
1. Brake Components
Such as brake rotors and brake calipers.
Ductile iron's excellent thermal conductivity and wear resistance ensure efficient heat dissipation and consistent braking performance.
