The ductile cast iron bollards are often used to establish a protective barrier around buildings, parking lots and a wide variety of urban spaces.
Ductile Iron Advantages:
Standard cast iron is strong but brittle. In contrast, ductile iron has a molecular structure that allows it to absorb impact without fracturing. The carbon in ductile cast iron is nodular or rounded, which allows microstructures in the iron to slide past one another when hit, rather than chipping away.
While standard cast iron products are susceptible to breakage, ductile iron bollards resist cracking, making for safer and more resilient site furnishings.
