Best Answer

Malleable iron has been in use for hundreds of years and is a good choice for small castings or castings with thin cross sections. Malleable iron can be bent easily and has very good fracture toughness in colder temperatures. Fittings made from carbon steel are made in a wide variety of sizes with lower carbon steel being easier to bend but having less strength than higher carbon steels.

What is more polar a carbon hydrogen bond or a carbon oxygen bond?

A carbon-oxygen bond is more polar than a carbon-hydrogen bond, because the difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen is greater than the difference in electronegativity between carbon and hydrogen.
