A .   White cast iron
B .   Nodular cast iron
C .   Malleable cast iron
D .   Alloy cast iron
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
• Alloy cast iron is a type of cast iron that contains alloying elements such as nickel, chromium, copper and molybdenum.
• These elements are added to molten cast iron to improve its properties such as strength, hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, machinability and ductility.
• The addition of these alloying elements makes alloy cast iron a better material for use in a variety of applications.
• Alloy cast iron is used in a variety of applications such as engine parts, bearings, valves, gears and other machine components.
• Alloy cast iron also has a good combination of strength and ductility which makes it suitable for use in applications such as bridges and other structures.
