typically 0.258lbs/inch^3
6.8 to 6.9 Kg/cu m
Typically mild steel can withstand vibration better because it has a higher density than the more brittle cast iron but cast iron may be better at absorbing vibrations than mild steel, due to its lower density.
because graphite phase in cast iron is relatively soft and this phase absorbs shocks
its, IRON
Iron, cast iron is just iron
The density of SG iron, also known as ductile iron, is typically around 6.8 to 7.1 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3). However, the exact density may vary depending on the specific composition of the iron.
Gray iron with small amounts of magnesium and cesium which nodulates the graphite, resultinghigh strengthhigh ductilityWhite cast iron heat-treated to improvehigher ductility
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.
Bronze has a higher density. so for an equal volume bronze will be heavier.
No gray iron is malleable
Because grey cast iron is not malleable, it has a crystalline structure that cannot be reformed cold.
Typically mild steel can withstand vibration better because it has a higher density than the more brittle cast iron but cast iron may be better at absorbing vibrations than mild steel, due to its lower density.
gray cast irons typically contain 2.5-4 wt.% Carbon and 1-3 wt.%Silicon, It can also contain some Manganese, and obviously the rest is iron
Gray cast iron is around 118 grams per cubic inch.
It is cheaper than using, for example, stainless steel, and really only has to be heavy.

The density of Galvanized Iron is 7850 kg/m3. Density of steel is equal to the density of galvanized iron
No, the density of iron is fairly high.
