I've already purchased some cast iron material to make a small C.I. piston from but the different cast iron options available got me thinking... I have plenty of experience with the varying grades of aluminum and steel, but have not had any experience with cast iron at work. The supplier I purchased mine from had two different grades of round stock available "Easy-to-Machine Gray Cast Iron" and "Impact-Resistant Ductile Cast Iron" (I went with ductile.)
As a general topic what separates these different grades when it comes to intended application and machining?
