how do i cut cast iron
Yes, it should, I actually have a project that needs me to cut a cast iron pipe, and my soulution was to use a plasma cutter. The plasma cutter was develiped to cut both ferrous and non-ferrous materialls. Unlike a oxy-gas torch which is only good for steel which has a high Iron content, Plasma will cut steel, stainless steel (which has a much lower Iron content), Aluminum, and I am sure will cut other metals as well. The cutting action is based more on the extreme concentrated heat cutting the material more than a chemical reaction, or burning action of the material.
The best way to cut a cast iron pipe is to use a reciprocating saw with a metal-cutting blade or a snap cutter specifically designed for cutting cast iron. These tools are effective in making clean and precise cuts in cast iron pipes.
What are you calling Iron. steel is the only material that can redilly be cut with a cutting torch.Aside from that having the rite tip & adjusting the torch properly are essetial,one can use propane or map gas or acetelyne along with oxygen.Most often refered to as oxy acetylne torch. Assuming you have the correct equipment tell me what material & how thick ,I may be able to direct you from there. I have 35 yrs of exprience in the industry Grampa knows!

Nitric acid is a strong acid that can potentially dissolve iron, but it may not be the most practical choice for cutting a 40mm iron rod due to safety concerns and the slow reaction rate. A more common and effective method for cutting iron rods is to use a cutting tool like a saw, torch, or grinder specifically designed for metal cutting.
