Cast (Grey) Iron

Cast iron is one of the most versatile and most commonly used of all foundry metals. The high carbon content is responsible for ease of melting and casting in the foundry and for ease of machining in subsequent manufacturing. The low degree or absence of shrinkage and high fluidity provide maximum freedom of design.
