The Cast Iron which possesses all the carbon in the combined form as cementite is known as

Options :

  1. Grey Cast Iron

  2. Spheroidal Cast Iron

  3. Malleable Cast Iron

  4. White Cast Iron

Show Answer

Answer :

White Cast Iron

Solution :

White Cast iron: It is white because carbon is in the form of carbide known as cementite which is the hardest constituent of Iron.
The carbon content in White Cast Iron is 1.75 to 2.3%.
It has high tensile strength, low compressive strength, and high brittleness.
It is used in abrasion-resistant parts where it's brittleness is of minimum concern such as shell liners, slurry pumps, ball mills, lifter bars, extrusion nozzles, cement mixers, pipe fittings, flanges, etc.
