About Iron Casting
Iron casting is one of the oldest ferrous metals that consists of carbon, silicon, and small amounts of sulfur, manganese, and phosphorous. The different types of iron castings include gray cast iron, ductile cast iron, and malleable cast iron. Iron castings have high carbon content and are hard, brittle, more fusible, and non-malleable. They are used extensively in different applications, such as automotive, industrial machinery, infrastructure and construction machines, and power and energy.
