Cast iron. Cast iron is a class of iron – carbon alloys with a carbon content of more than 2% and silicon content around 1–3%. [ 1] Its usefulness derives from its relatively low melting temperature. The alloying elements determine the form in which its carbon appears: white cast iron has its carbon combined into an iron carbide named ...

Malleable iron. Wrought iron. Micrograph of grey cast iron. Gray iron, or grey cast iron, is a type of cast iron that has a graphitic microstructure. It is named after the gray color of the fracture it forms, which is due to the presence of graphite. [ 1] It is the most common cast iron and the most widely used cast material based on weight.
Tempering is a heat treatment technique applied to ferrous alloys, such as steel or cast iron, to achieve greater toughness by decreasing the hardness of the alloy. The reduction in hardness is usually accompanied by an increase in ductility, thereby decreasing the brittleness of the metal.
Ductile iron. Ductile iron, also known as ductile cast iron, nodular cast iron, spheroidal graphite iron, spheroidal graphite cast iron[ 1] and SG iron, is a type of graphite -rich cast iron discovered in 1943 by Keith Millis. [ 2] While most varieties of cast iron are weak in tension and brittle, ductile iron has much more impact and fatigue ...
Compacted graphite iron ( CGI ), also known as vermicular graphite iron ( GJV, VG, [1] JV [2] or GGV from the German: "Gusseisen mit Vermiculargraphit" [3]) especially in non-English speaking countries, [4] is a metal which is gaining popularity in applications that require either greater strength, or lower weight than cast iron .
Ferrosilicon is a basis for manufacture of prealloys like magnesium ferrosilicon (MgFeSi), used for production of ductile iron. MgFeSi contains 3–42% magnesium and small amounts of rare-earth metals. Ferrosilicon is also important as an additive to cast irons for controlling the initial content of silicon. Magnesium ferrosilicon is ...
Ductility refers to the ability of a material to sustain significant plastic deformation before fracture. Plastic deformation is the permanent distortion of a material under applied stress, as opposed to elastic deformation, which is reversible upon removing the stress. Ductility is a critical mechanical performance indicator, particularly in ...
