The difference is the shape the carbon takes as the metal cools.<\/p><p>In grey iron, the carbon forms thin graphite flakes. Each flake acts like a tiny crack, so the metal is strong in compression but breaks with little warning under tension or impact.<\/p><p>In ductile iron (also called nodular or spheroidal graphite iron), a small addition of magnesium turns the graphite into round nodules. Cracks have no sharp edges to follow, so the metal bends before it breaks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d21136d elementor-widget elementor-widget-raven-image\" data-id=\"7d21136d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"raven-image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"raven-image\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"419\" src=\"https:\/\/avaxplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Gemini_Generated_Image_4h7ltu4h7ltu4h7l-768x419.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-4090\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/avaxplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Gemini_Generated_Image_4h7ltu4h7ltu4h7l-768x419.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/avaxplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Gemini_Generated_Image_4h7ltu4h7ltu4h7l-300x164.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/avaxplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Gemini_Generated_Image_4h7ltu4h7ltu4h7l-1024x559.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/avaxplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Gemini_Generated_Image_4h7ltu4h7ltu4h7l-18x10.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/avaxplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Gemini_Generated_Image_4h7ltu4h7ltu4h7l-1320x720.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/avaxplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Gemini_Generated_Image_4h7ltu4h7ltu4h7l-600x327.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/avaxplus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Gemini_Generated_Image_4h7ltu4h7ltu4h7l.jpeg 1408w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a2e6d0d elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-raven-heading\" data-id=\"5a2e6d0d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"raven-heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"raven-widget-wrapper\"><h2 class=\"raven-heading raven-heading-h2\"><span class=\"raven-heading-title\">Grey iron castings: the reliable workhorse<\/span><\/h2><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75b2d505 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"75b2d505\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li data-start=\"4531\" data-end=\"4721\"><p data-lfile-container=\"0b07d340-682b-4ea0-9613-40f6677d7bcc\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Grey iron is the most widely cast metal in the world because it is affordable, easy to pour and easy to machine.

iron?<\/strong> Yes. Ductile iron typically has about twice the tensile strength of grey iron and can stretch 2\u201318% before breaking, while grey iron stretches less than 1%.<\/p><p><strong>Why is grey iron still used if ductile iron is stronger?<\/strong> Grey iron is cheaper, machines faster, damps vibration better and conducts heat better. For bases, housings and brake parts, those properties matter more than toughness.<\/p><p><strong>Is ductile iron the same as cast steel?<\/strong> No. Ductile iron reaches strength close to many cast steels but is easier to cast into complex shapes and usually costs less.<\/p><p><strong>How can I tell grey and ductile iron apart?<\/strong> The reliable way is a microstructure check or a tensile test. Grey iron&#8217;s fracture surface also looks dull grey, while ductile iron&#8217;s looks brighter and more steel-like.<\/p><p><strong>What does EN-GJS-500-7 mean?<\/strong> GJS means spheroidal graphite (ductile) iron, 500 is the minimum tensile strength in MPa, and 7 is the minimum elongation in percent.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grey or ductile iron?
