Cast iron is a mixture of primarily iron (90%+), carbon (2.0 to 4.0%), silicon (1.0 to 2.4%), manganese (.45 to .65%), sulfur (.06 to .15%), and sometimes (.10 to 1.0%) copper, molybedunum, chrome, nickel, and even .03 to .06% tin.

The microstructure for general use cast gray iron should be Type 'A' flake graphite in sizes 3 to 5 in a fine pearlite matrix.
