Grey Iron Grades

The most common engineering alloy because of its relatively low cost and good machinability.

It is named after the grey color of the fracture it forms, which is due to the presence of graphite in flake form. Due to this cast grey iron is known as lamellar graphite cast iron, too. 

Grey iron also experiences less solidification shrinkage than other cast irons.
