1.1.4 Cast irons As stated earlier, we define cast irons as the ferrous alloys with greater than 2 w carbon. They also generally contain up to 3 w silicon for control of carbide formation kinetics. 1.1.4 Cast irons Cast irons have relatively low melting temperatures and liquid phase viscosities, do not form undesirable surface films when poured, and undergo moderate shrinkage during solidification and cooling. 1.1.4 Cast irons The cast irons must balance good formability of complex shapes against inferior mechanical properties compared to wrought alloys. 1.1.4 Cast irons Wrought alloys are i
