Cast Iron does not rust or corrode as steel can
If the pipe is No Hub cast Iron you can use a mission cap If the cast Iron is bell then you caulk in a cast iron plug If the cast iron is a spigot end you get a transition coupling either standard weight CI or extra heavy and then use a cast iron cap in the transition coupling

Cast iron is, as the name implies, "iron" which has been "cast", or melted and poured into a mold. The material is usually not really pure iron but rather an alloy including carbon and (often) silicon.
A cast iron tub is about 325lbs. steel is about 75lbs. Tap on tub if it sounds solid it is cast iron.
Cast Iron does not rust or corrode as steel can

Iron does not corrode as easily when coated with zinc by galvanizing.
Slowly, because the zinc galvanizing coating must corrode away almost completely before the iron can begin corroding.
Yes, iron can corrode quickly in water, especially if it is not protected with a coating. The presence of oxygen and electrolytes in water can accelerate the process of iron oxidation, leading to the formation of rust.
7Up can corrode iron.
Rust, which is ferric oxide.
Iron can begin to corrode within hours in the presence of moisture and oxygen. The exact time it takes for iron to fully corrode will vary depending on the environmental conditions it is exposed to, such as humidity levels and presence of corrosive agents. Regular maintenance and protective coatings can help slow down the corrosion process.
The reddish flaky coating that forms when objects containing iron corrode is called rust. Rust is a result of the oxidation of iron when exposed to moisture and oxygen in the air.
Iron compounds do not rust. Iron and its alloys can rust. Although other metals can corrode it is usually only called rust when it is iron that is corroding.
Other metals can corrode, but the term rust is usually just refers to the product of corroding iron or iron alloys.
Because they corrode and stain on skin contact.
