	What is cast iron structure? I know it has multiple types. Is there a general over structure? Is it made up of both body and centered cubes?

	Low-pressure phase diagram of pure iron. BCC is body centered cubic and FCC is face centered cubic. It depends on the temperature and pressure, as shown in the diagram above. When it changes phase, the volume changes and there is a spike in temperature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_iron

	The higher carbon substance of cast iron implies that it hardens as a heterogeneous compound, and along these lines has more than one microcrystalline structure present in the material. It is the mix of high carbon content, and the nearness of silicon, that gives cast iron its brilliant castability. you can read ADVANTAGES OF USING STEEL IN BUILDING STRUCTURES from MA Group Of Companies website: www.magroup.pk

	Is the relevant page in Wikipedia complete? __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856
