Ductile iron is a form of cast iron and does not have the same carbon content or ductility of carbon steel. The name implies it is ductile but that is only in reference to common cast iron which is not ductile at all.
Ductile iron is still relatively brittle when compared to carbon steel and it not any where near as weldable.

Steel has more carbon so its gooder
you know the carbon gooders the iron up especially for welding

in welding there is not distinctive difference. ductile iron is produced only by foundry but carbon steel is produced both by foundry and rooling , forging, stamping , extrusion. piping is made from carbon steel not ductile iron.
