What is the classification of cast iron?
Grey cast ironWhite cast ironMalleable cast ironDuctile cast iron
Is cast iron different from iron?
cast iron consists of 2% - 4% of carbon in it. cast iron is pig iron remelted and thereby refined together with definite amount of limestone,steel scrap, and spoiled castings. it consists of small % of sulphur, silicon,phosphorus and manganese wrought iron is highly refined iron with a small amount of slag forged out into fibres. it consists of 99% iron. it is almost the purest form of iron. it is highly ductile,rusts extremely quickly, it cannot be heat treated
What is the the advantage of gray and white cast iron over malleable and ductile cast iron?
Gray iron with small amounts of magnesium and cesium which nodulates the graphite, resultinghigh strengthhigh ductilityWhite cast iron heat-treated to improvehigher ductility
Why dont you have to use coolant while machining cast iron?
As far as i know, coolant is not required while machining cast iron because, carbon in cast iron is present in the form of graphite (which is a cooling agent - self cooling). Moreover the carbon content is high in cast iron.
