Which material used to make a lathe bed?

Cast iron is used as the "material of choice" for many machinery housings or bases because it is extremely stable in its structure. Certainly it is subject to thermal expansion and contraction, but the crystal structure of cast iron makes it "hold its shape" in applications ranging from machines and machine parts to cookware. And in things like a lathe bed, we need the thing to be "the same" every day and all the time so we get accurate, consistent work. Cast iron also suppresses high frequencies generated during machining. Note that the ways (the parts of the bed that the carriage slides on), are hardened and machined to provide lasting and accurate surfaces.

Why cast iron used for bed of lathe?

Any solid material that is capable of cutting ferrous metals are used, but if the family is the most iron. <><><> Cast iron is less prone to warping than other metals. This refers not to the machining of cast iron, but the use of cast iron as the bed of the lathe. Yes, more housing is made ​​of cast iron industrial machines. Because iron does not tolerate the stress. Its ability to cause melting and casting, the theme is good. +++ I assume the question asks why cast-iron is the main material for making the lathe - and in fact most machine-tools. ' It is easy to machine and gives very good bearing surfaces such as the shears on the lathe bed; thanks to its inherent "self-lubricating" and oil-retaining property due its granular structure of iron crystals interspersed with those of graphite - you soon find the graphite when you machine the stuff! ' It has a damping effect - it is not as resonant as steel so reduces vibration. ' Re-writing the first respondent's last sentence as I think he meant: it melts at a relatively low temperature, and its low viscosity when molten greatly facilitates casting intricate shapes.
