In your fantasy world that may be, but not in the real world.

the only "fantasy" here is you having an opinion on a subject about
which you are clearly underinformed. "ductile iron" [in its multitude
of grades and qualities] is a cheap commodity produced in the millions
of tons each year. spending up to 30% of a component's value in
shipping makes no sense whatsoever.

almost certainly this is not a "ductile iron" component, but that
doesn't detract from you bullshitting about it.
