灰鐵鑄件加工的方式主要是以砂型鑄造和金屬型鑄造為主的，每一種灰鐵鑄件加工的方式都有自己獨特的特點。
灰鐵鑄件加工方式一砂型鑄造，是當今鑄造業中使用普遍的鑄造工藝，適用于各種材質，鐵合金，非鐵合金鑄造等灰鐵鑄件加工都能用砂型鑄造。可以生產從幾十克到幾十噸，及更大的鑄造件。砂型鑄造的不足之處是：只能生產結構相對簡單的鑄件。砂型鑄造大的優勢是：生產成本低。但在表面光潔度、鑄件金相，內部密度相對較低。在造型方面，可手工造型，亦可機器造型。手工造型適用于單件、小批量和難以使用造型機的形狀復雜的大型鑄件。機器造型可大幅度提高表面精度和尺寸精度，但，投資較大。
灰(hui)(hui)(hui)鐵(tie)(tie)鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)件(jian)加工(gong)(gong)方式二(er)金(jin)(jin)(jin)屬(shu)(shu)(shu)型(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)造(zao)，金(jin)(jin)(jin)屬(shu)(shu)(shu)型(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)造(zao)又稱硬(ying)模(mo)鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)造(zao)，灰(hui)(hui)(hui)鐵(tie)(tie)鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)件(jian)加工(gong)(gong)是將液體金(jin)(jin)(jin)屬(shu)(shu)(shu)澆入(ru)金(jin)(jin)(jin)屬(shu)(shu)(shu)鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)型(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)，以(yi)獲得鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)件(jian)的(de)(de)(de)一(yi)種鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)造(zao)方法。灰(hui)(hui)(hui)鐵(tie)(tie)鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)件(jian)加工(gong)(gong)是用(yong)(yong)金(jin)(jin)(jin)屬(shu)(shu)(shu)制成，可以(yi)反復使(shi)用(yong)(yong)多(duo)次（幾(ji)百次到幾(ji)千次）。 灰(hui)(hui)(hui)鐵(tie)(tie)鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)件(jian)加工(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)藝金(jin)(jin)(jin)屬(shu)(shu)(shu)型(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)和(he)砂(sha)型(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)，在性(xing)能上有顯著的(de)(de)(de)區別(bie)，如砂(sha)型(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)有透氣性(xing)，而(er)金(jin)(jin)(jin)屬(shu)(shu)(shu)型(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)則沒(mei)有；砂(sha)型(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)的(de)(de)(de)導(dao)(dao)熱(re)性(xing)差，金(jin)(jin)(jin)屬(shu)(shu)(shu)型(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)的(de)(de)(de)導(dao)(dao)熱(re)性(xing)很好，砂(sha)型(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)有退讓性(xing)，而(er)金(jin)(jin)(jin)屬(shu)(shu)(shu)型(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)沒(mei)有等(deng)。鑒(jian)于此，使(shi)用(yong)(yong)金(jin)(jin)(jin)屬(shu)(shu)(shu)型(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)造(zao)工(gong)(gong)藝，鑄(zhu)(zhu)(zhu)造(zao)技術員需要明辨(bian)金(jin)(jin)(jin)屬(shu)(shu)(shu)型(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)與砂(sha)型(xing)(xing)(xing)(xing)的(de)(de)(de)區別(bie)。然后，加強(qiang)學(xue)習，精(jing)藝求精(jing)。
