Dealing with cast iron dust in machine shops requires proper precautions, though it poses no greater risk than other common dust types. To ensure safety, it’s advisable to wear a suitable mask during CNC machining processes involving cast iron to prevent inhalation of fine particles. Additionally, implementing a vacuum filter system in enclosed machines can effectively capture dust, reducing airborne contaminants and promoting a healthier working environment.

Cast iron typically exhibits good fluidity and castability, as well as relatively high hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance.

Cast iron may generate higher cutting forces, leading to increased tool wear, and may also encounter issues with tool vibration and chip control during cutting.
