4. Production of ductile iron pipes, fittings and accessories
4.1 Main production stages for ductile iron pipe components
The manufacturing process for ductile iron pipes, fittings and accessories can be divided into three main stages:
liquid metal production and processing (metallurgy) ;
casting and heat treatment (foundry) ;
inspections, removal of interior and exterior coatings (product finishing).
These three stages are, of course, closely interrelated, with continuous monitoring and inspection throughout the manufacturing cycle ensuring consistent, optimum quality of the finished products. In general, component manufacturing is fully integrated,...
