steel, aluminum, magnesium and copper-base alloys have the greatest opportunities for long-term growth. While ductile iron growth is ex-


pected across all end markets, it is led by the oil and gas, machine tool, valve


and automotive markets. Steel growth will be led by the oil and gas, valve, pump and compressor, railroad and mining markets. On the nonferrous side, both alu- minum and magnesium are expected
