Question

The melting point of cast iron is

• A. 1200$^\circ$C
• B. 1100$^\circ$C
• C. 800$^\circ$C
• D. 1300$^\circ$C

Hint:

The melting point of cast iron is approximately 1200$^\circ$C, influenced by its carbon content.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Cast iron typically melts at around 1200$^\circ$C. This melting point is lower than pure iron due to the presence of carbon and other alloying elements, which reduce the melting temperature compared to pure iron.
The other options are either too low or too high compared to the typical melting range of cast iron.
