I have a piece of white cast iron:
Composition: 2,5% C and 20% Cr
Hardness: HV 750
Dimensions: 40x40x6 inches
Micro structure: Chromium carbides are dispersed in the material.
How can I cut through 6 inches of this material without heating it above 200-300 =B0C (is spark erosion the only way)? Preferably it has to be economic.

Chrome iron.... What cut do you want to make? Cuts nice with a good rigid machine and the proper tooling.

I need a rather smooth cut. What machines would you recommend?

Well, do you want to saw it in half, or machine it? Endmilling or facemilling? Turning on a lathe's faceplate? You have given no indication as to what you want to actually do.
I recommend you talk a steel/cast iron supplier about cutting your piece of metal. They (or the metal's manufacturer) typically have machining info.
