REDUCED COSTS. Gears made from Dura-Bar instead of steel provide numerous bottom line benefits to the end customer. Bottom Line Benefit #1: Machinability. Dura-Bar’s machining advantages compared to steel represents a significant reduction in manufacturing costs. On average, 30% reduction in cycle times are realized using Dura-Bar over a conventional, mild carbon steel. Gear machining is time intensive and using Dura-Bar continuous cast ductile iron can optimize the process, cutting cycle times and increasing s
