A steel specimen would give a longer or continuous sound when beaten by a hammer. This is due to the malleable nature of the material. In other words, sound takes longer to travel in a coarse-grained material.
Whereas cast iron specimen gives sound of shorter duration. This is due to the brittle nature of the material. In other words, sound takes shorter to travel in a fine-grained material.

Why cast iron is called cast iron?
Firstly, cast iron is made by casting process, or called as casting method, which is a type of metal fabrication method. You can compare it with forging, stamping, welding methods. Secondly, the main raw material for producing cast iron is pig iron. I think this is a reason the name. Although cast steel is also produced by pig iron, but cast steel has lower content of carbon element. So, scientifically speaking, if the carbon content is upper 2%, then it should be called as cast iron, but if lower than 2%, then it should be called as cast steel.
