Cast iron Advantages

Cast iron is a term used to describe a family of metal alloys whose main alloying element is iron.  Some People tend to think that cast iron is basically 100% iron. That's just not true. In fact, carbon steels have higher amounts of iron elements than cast iron. To be considered cast iron, a predominantly iron alloy must have more than 2% carbon for the final alloy to be considered cast iron.  Cast iron also has lots of other minor alloys, with manganese and silicon being two of the most popular. These additional alloying elements are used to further modify the properties of cast iron and result in specific cast iron alloy designations.
