Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: From white cast iron by prolonged annealing (heat treatment)
Explanation:
Concept
Malleable 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 Answer
From white cast iron by prolonged annealing (heat treatment)
