Cast iron generally has low tensile strength but excellent compressive strength.

Cast iron generally has low tensile strength but excellent compressive strength. Correct Answer True

Cast iron is normally of nonmalleable and brittle nature which defines that, it is not easy to bend or stretched the casting into any shape due to low tensile strength. Cast iron parts tend to fracture by little of deformation, but cast iron has excellent compressive strength which highly required in making of structures of buildings and bridges.
