Cast iron is very brittle in its basic form, with yield point very close to fracture point. However, glass is the most brittle, having no yield point - it is perfectly elastic before failure

cast steel is 2707
Steel is an alloy of carbon and iron. If the percentage of carbon is more than 2% then it is called cast iron.
NO.
The most common material used to make a vise is cast iron. The jaws, if they are separate pieces, might be mild steel and attached with screws. And we all usually have some wood, aluminum or plastic inserts to put over or between the jaws to protect more delicate work.
Some brittle materials are cast iron, concrete, high carbon steels, ceramics and glass. A brittle material is easily shattered and has little resistance against fracture.
glass and cast iron
Cast iron is more brittle then mild steel
Glass, ceramic ,cast iron
No. Cast iron is brittle, and shatters like glass.
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.
You don't. The temperature to cast any steels would melt any fiber glass fiber. Straight Carbon wouldn't melt but a steel with extra carbon in it may be stronger but it would be be more brittle. You could get the same effect from heat treating. Steel doesn't have extra carbon in it for a reason. Especially stainless steels

Mild steel
Ceramics, glasses, minerals and aggregates of cemented of minerals (i.e. rocks) are all examples of brittle solids. There are probably many others you can think of!

Cast iron, is one example of a non-ductile metal. Unlike ductile metals, copper, steel, aluminium - cast iron is too brittle to be reworked.
