The growth of those industries which manufacture different kinds of automotive as well as several other components of regular use have increased manifolds due to the cast iron discovery. Because of its various advantages and several incredible inbuilt qualities tremendous growth has taken place in almost all the industries. In simple terms cast iron can be understood as an alloy and its major composition is that of iron. Iron is mixed with silicon and carbon particles, thus the resultant alloy gets the advantages of both of them. The iron which is used in making the cast iron is called pig iron. This is mostly of two basic types, namely white cast iron, which is known to contain carbide impurities and the other one is the grey cast iron which majorly comprises of graphite flakes. It is known as cast iron as it is heated until it comes in its liquid state and then it is poured into those casts which have been already prepared. Thus, it attains the desired and required forms and shape. The Cast Iron Components are popularly used in various industries because of their amazing qualities which help in making a solid item in great abundance.
Some of the qualities are listed below:
• Low melting point which helps them in acquiring any shape with great ease.
• Fluidity is perfect for it to be molded easily.
• Several kinds of components can be prepared easily.
• It is resistant against rust formation and different kinds deformation, which to its amazing qualities.
Cast iron is used majorly in making machines, round pipes and different parts of automobiles, gear boxes, cylinder heads and cylinder blocks.
