Dura-Bar 65-45-12X is a ductile iron that is used for the production of continuous cast products. Its microstructure consists of nodular graphite and a matrix comprising ferrite and 10–50% pearlite. The predominantly ferritic matrix of Dura-Bar 65-45-12X allows it to be easily machined as opposed to steels and pearlitic irons. Dura-Bar 65-45-12X is a suitable alternative to low- and medium-carbon non-alloy steels. It is appropriate for applications necessitating fatigue strength and ductility.
