Ductile Iron Pipe

Last Revised:
May 2016
Ductile Iron Pipe Manufacturers have been successfully welding
Ductile Iron Pipe for many years and should be consulted on their
recommendations for field welding and torch cutting their product.
The Ductile Iron Pipe Research Association (DIPRA) does not
support indiscriminate field welding of Ductile Iron Pipe. However,
unforeseen circumstances might require field welding of retainer
rings, thrust collars, etc., onto the barrels of Ductile Iron Pipe.
This manual is intended as a guide for field welding and cutting cement-mortar lined and unlined Ductile Iron
Pipe. For welding or cutting special lined pipe, consult the pipe manufacturer. The procedures described are
intended to be used only by qualified welders having adequate skill and experience in the practice of the
appropriate welding and cutting methods for cast ferrous materials. Only such qualified welders should be
allowed to field weld and field cut restrained joints for Ductile Iron Pipe. Pipe manufacturers’ recommended
procedures shall be followed while exercising reasonable care. Care should also be exercised in the application
of the principles contained herein. DIPRA assumes no responsibility and disclaims liability for the design or
performance of pipe joints or pipe systems fabricated with this approach. Also, DIPRA assumes no responsibility
and disclaims liability for injury or damage to persons or property arising from the use of these procedures.

Introduction
Welding is a very important fabrication method in modern industry. If an alloy can be welded successfully,
its usefulness is clearly enhanced. Ductile Iron can be welded successfully to produce welds that have
mechanical properties comparable to those of the base iron. As with any base material, the success of
welding Ductile Iron depends on suitable equipment, correct procedures, qualified welders, and effective
quality control procedures.

Ductile Iron Pipe


The first Ductile Iron Pipe was cast experimentally in 1948. Years of metallurgical, casting, and quality control
refinement followed, and in 1955 Ductile Iron Pipe was introduced into the marketplace.

Its phenomenal strength and impact resistance compared to Gray Iron, along with many other advantages,
created a rapid increase in demand for this product as engineers and utility officials realized that it could be
transported, handled, and installed with virtually no damage to the pipe. In service, Ductile Iron Pipe showed
that expense of repair was practically eliminated.

Ductile Iron is usually defined as a Cast Iron with primary graphite in the nodular or spheroidal form. This
change in the graphite form is accomplished by adding an alloy, usually magnesium, to molten iron of
appropriate composition. Properly treated iron will solidify with the graphite in the form of nodules or
spheroids. The distribution and shape of the graphite nodules are set when the metal solidifies in the mold
and will remain essentially unchanged during subsequent processing. Because of the mold cooling and rapid
iron solidification, the pipe must be annealed (heat treated) to produce the necessary proportion of ferrite
that imparts strength, ductility, and impact properties required by specifications for water service.

The annealing treatment relieves casting stresses and produces the microstructural transformation that
increases the toughness and improves ductility of the iron while maintaining the required strength. The
effectiveness of the magnesium treatment of the iron as well as the annealing treatment of the pipe is proven
by means of physical tests. The types of tests, test frequencies, and acceptance limits that are required are

specified in ANSI/AWWA C151/A21.51 Standard, “Ductile-Iron Pipe, Centrifugally Cast, for Water.” The
acceptance test requirements of the ANSI/AWWA C151/A21.51 Ductile Iron Pipe Standard are:

1. Tensile properties of specimens machined from the pipe wall: ultimate strength, 60,000 psi minimum;
yield strength, 42,000 psi minimum; elongation, 10 percent minimum.
2. Charpy V-Notch impact strengths on specimens cut from the pipe wall: 7 ft-lb minimum at 70°F; 3 ft-lb
minimum at -40°F.

Ferritic Ductile Iron, as compared to Gray Iron, will have about twice the strength as determined by a tensile
test, beam test, ring bending test, and bursting test. The tensile elongation and impact strength of Ductile
Iron is many times that of Gray Iron.

Gray Iron Ductile Iron

As these photomicrographs show, Ductile Iron differs from Gray Iron in that its graphite is spheroidal, or nodular, instead of the flake form found in
Gray Iron. Ductile’s greater strength, ductility, and toughness are due to this change in microstructure

The annealing treatment for Ductile Iron Pipe relieves casting stresses and produces the microstructural transformation that increases the pipe’s toughness
and improves the ductility of the iron while maintaining the required strength.

with short-circuiting transfer is suitable for joining
Ductile Iron to itself and to mild steel. Because of
the relatively low heat input with this process, the
hard portion of the heat-affected zone is usually
confined to a thin layer next to the weld metal. As a
result, the strength and ductility of the welded joint
are about the same as those of the base metal.

Recommended Filler Material


It has been established that the most satisfactory
filler metal for MIG shortarc welding of Ductile Iron
is nickel (ENi-1).

Flux-Cored Wire Arc Welding


This process is similar to MIG welding insofar as FIGURE 2

whereas MIG welding uses an inert gas shield to
protect the weld pool, the flex-cored wire process
derives its protection from the slag formed from the
flux materials contained in the core of the tubular
wire. A Ni-Rod FC55 cored wire electrode is available
that produces weld metal with a composition and
micro-structure similar to that deposited by ENiFe-
CI covered electrodes. The principle of graphite
precipitation and the associated volume increase is
the same for both electrodes.

The flux-cored electrode is a self-shielding design


but it may be used with carbon dioxide (CO2)

recommendations on usage and procedures for
specific applications.

amounts of heat input during both the pre-
heating and the welding operations. The extensive
heating is a limiting factor in the application of this
process. The process is not considered suitable
for fabrication work as the high heat input can
cause excessive distortion; and in the as-deposited
condition, the weld area is likely to contain a high
proportion of iron carbide.
