Use source knowledge, fracture appearance, machining characteristics, spark behaviour where appropriate, component type and density as preliminary indicators. Cast iron and steel should not be distinguished by one visual clue alone. If buyer specifications or value differences are significant, segregate uncertain pieces until identification is confirmed.
