Yes, which is why most machine tool castings are made of cast iron.
I believe the Moldboard Plow was invented around the 3rd century.

Pig iron is cast iron with a very high carbon content: 4% by weight or more. Cast iron has at least 2% carbon by weight. Less than that, and it's steel. Cast iron and pig iron are not called steel, despite being iron carbides, because they lack the structural strength of steel and are extremely brittle. In terms of the microstructure, cast iron and pig iron contain no cementite, austenite, or martensite. Historically, "pig iron" refers to cast iron made by a particular process: the high-carbon molten iron made in a blast furnace was poured into moulds made of sand, which had a particular shape. Narrow trenches would run down the edge of the mould, and then branching off of them there would be the actual ingots. The whole setup looked to the ironworkers like a sow suckling piglets, so the product became known as pig iron.

The moldboard plow, made of cast iron, had a central ridge ending in a sharp point that cut through the soil, with wings that pushed the soil off to the sides. It is considered to have revolutionized agriculture by making it easier to cultivate larger areas of land more efficiently.
When Pig Iron is melted and recooled it is called Cast Iron
"According to Robert Temple in his book, The Genius of China, a history of Chinese science and technology published in 1998, the Chinese invented the moldboard plow by the third century B.C. Made of cast iron, the plowshare was shaped like a V, with the blade carving into the ground and the two arms arcing away like gull wings. Because the arms were curved, they turned the earth away from the blade, which both reduced friction and more effectively plowed the soil. (The "moldboard" is the curved plowshare; the name comes from mold, the Old German word for soil.)
malleable cast iron has temper graphite
A casting made from an iron based alloy, as in cast iron or cast steel.
cast iron is strong and sturdy
Cast iron is mostly made of iron or an iron alloy. It typically also has some silicon and manganese, along with trace amounts of impurities like sulfur.
No. Cast iron is brittle, and shatters like glass.
