Gray cast iron is widely used in automobile manufacturing due to its characteristics of high strength, high melting point, good thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and easy machining.
The following auto parts are normally produced by gray cast iron:
1. Cast iron exhaust manifolds
2. Cast iron cylinder blocks and heads
3. Cast iron brake discs and drums
4. Cast iron transmission housings
