| General comment | Cast iron is a class of iron - carbon alloys with a carbon content more than 2%. Its usefulness derives from its relatively low melting temperature. It is an alloy of iron that contains 2 to 4 percent carbon, along with varying amounts of silicon and manganese and traces of impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus. It is made by reducing iron ore in a blast furnace. The primary difference in production between wrought iron and cast iron is that cast iron is not worked with hammers and tools. |
