Cast Iron Metal
Cast iron, also known as cast iron, is made by adding other metal elements, scrap steel, and recycled iron during the smelting process to adjust its composition and change its internal structure through forging, deterioration, spheroidization, and other methods. The carbon content of cast iron is above 2.11%. Industrial cast iron generally has 2.5% to 3.5% carbon content. In addition to carbon, cast iron also contains 1% to 3% silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and other elements. The form of carbon in cast iron makes cast iron have unique properties. One of the classifications of cast iron we will talk about below is based on the form of carbon in the iron. Cast iron is primarily produced using casting processes to create iron castings with special shapes and properties.
