  2. Level Two Pass Example Grey Cast Iron Mild Steel • Manhole covers are made from grey cast iron because it is strong in compression, this means that it can resist compressive forces. This is important for a manhole cover because it will experience compressive forces such as vehicles driving over it. • It is also easy to machine which means it is easy to shape the material using machinery such as lathes and mills. • Nuts and bolts are made from mild steel because it has a good tensile strength this means that it can resist stretching forces. It also has a good shear strength which means it can withstand shearing or cutting forces. • This is important for a bolt because it experiences shearing forces when connecting two pieces of material together. http://4.imimg.com/data4/MN/NN/MY-2341825/mild-steel-bolt-250x250.jpg http://www.manholecovers.co.uk/files/mhc5135_20master_20jpeg.jpg
