In addition, they also wanted to increase performance of the finished product by reducing the weight of the propulsion unit. Dura-Bar 65-45-12 ductile iron is the mechanical alternative low- to mid-carbons steels such as 1018 and 1045 and weighs in at 8-10% less than steel, reducing the overall weight of the finished propulsion unit product. Dura-Bar continuous cast iron bar stock is produced in diameters up t
