Gray cast ironworks
Explanation:
COMPOSITION > Types of Cast Iron > Gray cast iron.
Most iron castings are made of gray cast iron. There are different types of this iron, identified by the size and shape of the flake-graphite particles. The iron is rated by its tensile strength in pounds per square inch (kilograms per square centimeter). The range for the various types is between 20,000 and 60,000 pounds per square inch (1,400 and 4,200 kilograms per square centimeter). Gray cast iron has excellent compressive strength, machinability, and damping capacity.
