Do you buy cast iron?

You can buy many products made of cast iron (cookware, pipes, etc.) but it could be hard to buy cast iron itself, because it needs 1,150 to 1,200°C (2,102 to 2,192°F) to achieve a melting point and to liqufy.


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.


What is a cast iron?

This is an interesting question, and I have made a research for it. However, it is difficult to answer it by short words. Cast iron is made from remelting pig iron, usually with some quantities of scrap iron, scrap steel and some alloys, such as Cr, Ni, Mo and Cu according to the different requirements. Depending on the specific application, iron foundries reduce the carbon and silicon content to the desired levels from 2 to 3.5% and 1 to 3% respectively. Other alloys and elements are also added during melting process according to the different requirements. With the different melting and inoculation processes, the different cast irons will be produced. There are several main types of cast iron, such as white cast iron, grey cast iron, ductile cast iron, malleable cast iron. For the detail information about them, you can refer to the related links below. I wrote this article, so I bet it will be helpful for you to comprehensively learn about cast iron.


How do you weld cast iron with an oxy acetylene torch with a cast iron rod?

I am not aware of a cast iron rod for oxy acetylene welding, I am for arc welding, For cast, I use a brazing rod, a brass or copper alloy, but what do I know. If there is a cast rod available, it would be the same process, get the cast you are welding hot almost to the point of melting, bring in the rod, heat it at the same place and bring both to a melting point. Work from that point along the crack or joint you are welding. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You need not use brazing rod for case iron welding. You get arc welding electrodes for cast iron. Use appropriate grade of rod for your case iron under welding.
