Cast iron is an alloy of iron that is rich in carbon and silicon. Its high carbon content gives it excellent casting properties, allowing it to be poured into intricate molds, which is why it is widely used in the manufacturing of heavy-duty cookware, engine blocks, and decorative items. The various types of cast iron—such as gray iron, ductile iron, and white iron—have distinct properties, influencing how they are processed and finished.
