Cast iron is a durable, hard, and brittle iron alloy with a high carbon content (2% to 5%). It is known for its ability to withstand high heat and evenly distribute temperature. While it’s strong in compression, it’s relatively weak in tension and can fracture under excessive stress. Cast iron is used in a wide range of applications, from engine blocks and heavy machinery to structural components and cookware.
