Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: From white cast iron by prolonged annealing (heat treatment)
Explanation:
ConceptMalleable cast iron is obtained by heat treating white cast iron for long durations (annealing), transforming cementite into temper carbon and producing a tougher, malleable structure.
Why not the others?• Magnesium addition produces ductile (nodular) iron, not malleable iron.• Quick chilling makes white iron, not malleable iron.
Final AnswerFrom white cast iron by prolonged annealing (heat treatment)
