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.


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.

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.
