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.
Why are pump casings made of cast iron?
Pump casings are commonly made of cast iron due to its excellent castability, strength, and durability. Cast iron provides good resistance to corrosion and wear, making it suitable for handling various fluids, including abrasive materials. Additionally, its ability to absorb vibrations helps reduce noise during operation. Overall, cast iron offers a cost-effective solution with reliable performance in pump applications.

Is malleable iron a cast iron or wrought iron?
Malleable means can be hammered. Cast iron will crack or break into pieces; it's not malleable. The word wrought means hammered. You could have used a dictionary for definitions; this isn't really an engineering question. The cast iron with carbon content of less than 0.2% is called wrought iron or pure iron. Wrought iron is very soft, plastic and easily deformed, but its strength and hardness are lower, so not widely used. Malleable cast iron is produced from white cast iron, which is made from hot liquid iron with certain chemical components. The white cast iron needs to be treated by malleablizing, such as graphitizing or oxidation and decarbonization, then its metallographic structures or chemical components will be changed, so can become into malleable cast iron. +++ So yes, Malleable Iron is a Cast Iron, but a much less brittle species enabling it to be used almost as a grade of steel. It is an important mechanical-engineering material. ' Wrought Iron was the ancestor of Mild Steel but became obsolete and no longer made, by the early 20C. It was very uneconomical, as well as very labour-intensive in very unpleasant conditions to make; and its internal structure and inconsistent quality rendered it totally unsuitable for the new engineering demands developing rapidly from the 1850s onwards.
Is cast iron different from iron?
cast iron consists of 2% - 4% of carbon in it. cast iron is pig iron remelted and thereby refined together with definite amount of limestone,steel scrap, and spoiled castings. it consists of small % of sulphur, silicon,phosphorus and manganese wrought iron is highly refined iron with a small amount of slag forged out into fibres. it consists of 99% iron. it is almost the purest form of iron. it is highly ductile,rusts extremely quickly, it cannot be heat treated
