May 21May 21 Hi folks... After a wayyy too many years hiatus... i'm back in track ! (Perseverance... pays !!!) I'm having a new sow block casted for my hammer, and have 2 options ; either ordinary grey iron or ductile iron. Which one should i pick ??? The hammer is a 55 pounder Oliveras, made in Spain. Circa 1950s... I'm also planing in using Little Giant 2-pc dies... Is that a good idea ??? many thankx...
May 21May 21 I’m far from an expert, but ductile iron is designed specifically to be less brittle, which could be important in that application. I’ve never heard about any downside to using it instead of gray cast.
