The iron or ferrous alloy known as cast iron has long offered a vast range of applications, particularly within engineering. Machines, pipes and automotive industry parts like cylinder blocks, cylinder heads and gearbox cases are just some of the items to have been made from cast iron, due to such qualities as a relatively low melting point, castability, fluidity, machinability and wear and deformation resistance. Such characteristics all help to explain why cast iron is such a mainstay of the range here at Parkside Steel.

Cast iron has a long history of use in engineering and other applications. The earliest cast iron artefacts to have been discovered by archaeologists date back to the 5th century BC, and were found in what is now the Jiangsu area of China. Cast iron was invented in Ancient China and saw some of its earliest use for warfare, agriculture and architecture. By the late 1770s, cast iron was being used for structural purposes, the Industrial Revolution necessitating the erection of cast iron bridges across the world. When you require cast iron rounds for any of the wide range of 21st century applications of this useful metal, you cannot hope to find a better provider than Parkside Steel.
