Gray iron is typically used in pieces where strength is not the main property

Home / Blog

It is used for housings where the stiffness of the component is more important than its tensile strength, such as internal combustion engine cylinder blocks, pump housings, valve bodies, electrical boxes, and decorative castings. Grey cast iron’s high thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity are often exploited to make cast iron cookware and disc brake rotors.

Because of its characteristics, gray iron can be cast very easily and has good machineability.
