I have spun tested cast iron flywheels and steel flex discs for an automotive company. We used a spin pit lined with 4 inches of oak and backed by another three inches of lead and this was all set into a sealed three inch steel walled chamber. The entire chamber was subjected to a vacuum while the test was being conducted. When the cast flywheels would burst it would instantly turn the oak into small slivers of wood and bits of the flywheel would be embedded in the lead backer. No matter how much the operator prepared himself the sound of the explosion would cause him to jump. Please don't try to make your own flywheel from two cast iron concentric pieces.
