    One thing that i would really like to do is to cast some cast iron jewelry. im guessing its hard and their isnt any info on it really. so far i have found they use a very pure iron others have said that it has a high phosphorous content 0.7%.

    does anyone know how to cast extremely intricate iron??

    You probably do not mean the regular cast iron which is Fe + 3% C(arbon) and very brittle, but easy to cast.
    Are you talking about pure iron with 0.7% P (phosplor steel) ?
     
  3. One of the members here gave his experiences casting iron fruit bowls in the UK which were a high phosphorous iron. It was quite fragile as I understand.
