I'm not sure which is which (I've asked before without response), but the rotor housings and side housings are made from different materials. One is aluminum, the other being steel.

Thanks, but there are 5 types of cast iron. So which one?
1. gray - general purpose
2.malleable - ductile (heat treated)
3.white - hard and wear resitant
4.ductile - ductile when cast
5.Alloy cast irons - special purpose
I`m doing a technical report for school comparing different hardening techniques and would like to have relatively accurate report.

housings are aluminum w/ a chrome coating and teflon that wears away quickly but resides in the pores of the chrome plating. That helps lubricate if it's ever w/o oil
This is about Series 4's though. Dunno about any other types.
Some type of special porous chrome plating too, if you want the exact name for the plating or any more explanation on it, PM me and I'll be glad to help
