Cast ironvs. Steel was Prowler V6

[Barry Tisdale]

Steel starts out as cast iron w/ all the original carbon blown out w/ O2.  THEN - measured amounts of carbon & other materials (chromium, vanadium, molybdenum, etc) are added back *in*.

Cast iron absorbs vibration much better then steel - machine BASES are made thusly; lathe beds, etc.  Not cutting tools, of course.

"Stronger" has no technical meaning.  Do you mean more ductile, malleable, higher modulus of elasticity, or what?
