Light micrograph of a thin section of cast iron. Cast iron is a refined product of iron ore,and was used extensively for construction purposes during the Industrial Revolution. Cast iron contains many impurities,mainly carbon,so although it is quite shock-resistant it is brittle under bending. Today its main industrial use is in the manufacture of car engine blocks.
