What is Auto Cast (Engine Blocks)?
Auto cast is the cast iron content of motor vehicles, primarily engine blocks, cylinder heads, brake discs, and brake drums. The consistent chemistry and high density make this material highly desirable for foundries. Clean auto cast (stripped of all non-ferrous attachments) commands a premium over general cast iron.
Tips for best price
- Strip aluminium heads, copper wiring, and steel brackets before selling.
- Brake discs can be sold as a separate clean grade. They are pure cast iron with no contamination.
- Drain all fluids (oil, coolant) from engine blocks before scrapping.
- Most yards prefer auto cast over mixed cast iron because the chemistry is predictable.
