  Brittle cast was for low stress, low cost castings.  I'm sorry I can't =
relate any specific formulas.    Some cast machined very well, while =
other parts were a head ache. =20
The brittle cast was probably gray iron--lots of carbon. That is why =
gray iron machines easily. It is also why it breaks so readily.
