Cast iron is an iron-carbon material with different melting behavior from steel, so it should not be mixed blindly with HMS or light scrap.
Engine blocks, machine bases, cast housings, pulleys, fittings and old cast parts.
Steel bolts, aluminum parts, brass fittings, oil residue, rubber and whether the pieces are too large to handle.

No. Cast iron has a different carbon structure and is usually more brittle than steel, so buyers often evaluate it as a separate material group.
Common examples include machinery bases, engine blocks, cast housings, pipe fittings and other heavy cast parts after non-ferrous attachments are checked.
Price depends on cast quality, mixed steel or non-ferrous parts, oil contamination, piece size, quantity, loading access and current demand.
Remove loose rubber, plastic, aluminum and brass where practical, and keep cast iron separate from ordinary sheet or HMS material.
