Answer:
IRON HAS MORE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH...
Explanation:
Not all cast irons are used as machine base beds, but the Grey Cast irons are used because of having exceptional damping capacity. Damping capacity is the relative ability of a material to absorb vibration. For this reason it is ideally suited for machine bases and supports, engine cylinder blocks and brake components.
Vibration can be critical in machinery and can cause unsatisfactory operation or even failure.
Grey cast iron posses this property due to the presence of carbon in the form of graphite flakes in the pearlite/ferrite matrix along with its unique stress-strain characteristics.
