Easy-to-Machine Gray Cast Iron Sheets and Bars
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell C20 (Hard)
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Rockwell C50
- Specifications Met: ASTM A247
Gray cast iron machines faster with less wear on cutting tools than most types of steel. It also absorbs vibration, so finished parts run quieter than those made of steel. It's often fabricated into gears, pulleys, and bushings.

Easy-to-Machine Impact-Resistant Ductile Cast Iron Bars
- Yield Strength: 45,000 psi
- Hardness: Rockwell C10 (Medium)
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Rockwell C50
- Specifications Met: ASTM A536
Easier to machine without cracking than other impact-resistant ductile cast iron bars, these cast iron bars contain a high amount of ferrite. Use them to make cylinder and die blocks, rotary tables, and rail spacers. These bars are also known as 65-45-12 ductile iron bars. All conduct electricity. They will become magnetic if exposed to a magnetic field. They’re often used to replace low and medium carbon steel bars.

Impact-Resistant Ductile Cast Iron Bars
- Yield Strength: 55,000psi
- Hardness: Rockwell C20 (Hard)
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Rockwell C60
- Specifications Met: ASTM A536
Ductile cast iron is strong, resilient, and able to handle repeated stress without breaking. It also absorbs vibration, so finished parts run quieter than those made of steel.
