cast iron

[cessna]

Hi, when engine plans call for cast iron heads, cyls, etc. what type of cast do they mean? I am told there are several different ones, ductile cast, grey iron cast etc.
Thanks
Terry.

Hi Terry;

They're talking about gray cast iron, like series 40.

Which should be use for machine parts (lathe/mill)? Thank-you, Mike.

Which machine parts, Mike? There are a lot of parts on a lathe or mill.
