Is cast iron dense?

The density of ductile cast iron is approximate 7.3 g/cubic centimeter, or 7.3 kg/liter. The density of grey cast iron is approximate 7.2 - 7.4 g/cubic centimeter. The density of cast steel is approximate 7.8 g/cubic centimeter. The density of stainless steel is approximate 7.7 - 7.9 g/cubic centimeter. The density of cast aluminum is approximate 2.6 g/cubic centimeter. However, the density has a range of variation because of the material grades and shrinkage level. So, you can see that cast iron is denser than cast aluminum, but cast steel is more denser. For more information about the "density of ductile cast iron", you can refer to the article at the related links listed below.
