About Cast Irons

Cast irons are a large group of ferrous alloys which solidify with a eutectic. They contain high amounts of iron, significant amounts of silicon (about 1-3%), and are considered to be ternary alloys (Fe-C-Si). Cast irons tend to be brittle depending on the particular alloy. They generally have low melting points, good fluidity, castability, wear resistance, and excellent mechanicability. Because of these benefits, cast irons are being included in an increasing number of engineering applications, including pipes, machines, and car parts. Cast irons are available in two colors: gray and white.
