Your factors on the special properties of cast steely and carbon steel are spot on. Another consideration is the machining and fabrication process<sp>required for each material. Cast iron can be more challenging to machine due to its hardness and brittleness, while carbon steel is more readily weldable and machinable. Furthermore, cast iron tends to be more prone to corrosion and rust in contrast to carbon steel, which may influence the choice of material s dependingon the project's exposure to environmental factors. Get you assessed the machining and corrosion resistance specifications for your project?
