Cast iron is an alloy of iron and carbon; it is hard, brittle, and non-malleable. The concentration of carbon varies from 2% to 5%. The alloy has lower melting temperature and requires less refining when compared with steel, which has a typical carbon content of 0.5%.The various types of iron alloys widely used for casting include gray iron, ductile iron, and malleable iron.
