(malleable) cast iron foundry

According to Langenscheidt - Technik, Temperguss is malleable cast iron or malleable iron. I don't know enough about this technology to determine whether there's a crucial difference between cast iron foundry and malleable cast iron foundry.

Peer comment(s):

agree Harry Borsje : a foundry is by definition about casting, so no need to repeat that; you can either say: iron and steel foundries, or in full: grey iron, ductile iron and steel foundries, see e.g. http://www.macraesbluebook.com/search/product_company_list.c...
