Cast iron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cast iron tends to be brittle, unless the name of the particular alloy suggests otherwise. White cast iron can also be made by using a high percentage of chromium in the iron; Cr is a stong carbide-forming element, so at high enough percentages of chrome, the precipitation of graphite out of the iron is suppressed. Cast iron usually refers to grey cast iron, but can mean any of a group of iron-based alloys containing more than 2% carbon (alloys with less carbon are carbon steel by definition). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cast_iron   (1012 words)

Iron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Iron is notable for being the final element produced by stellar nucleosynthesis, and thus the heaviest element which does not require a supernova or similarly cataclysmic event for its formation. A class of non-heme iron proteins is responsible for a wide range of functions within several life forms, such as enzymes methane monooxygenase (oxidizes methane to methanol), ribonucleotide reductase (reduces ribose to deoxyribose; DNA biosynthesis), hemerythrins (oxygen transport and fixation in marine invertebrates) and purple acid phosphatase (hydrolysis of phosphate esters). Iron distribution is heavily regulated in mammals, as a defense against bacterial infection and also because of the potential biological toxicity of iron. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Iron   (3051 words)

Guidelines for Welding Cast Iron Lincoln Electric Remembering this is helpful when welding cast iron: during and after welding, the casting must either be allowed to cool slowly, or should be kept cool enough that the rate of cooling is not important. While there are a variety of types of cast iron, the most common is gray cast iron, and these guidelines are directed toward this type of material. Cast iron is difficult, but not impossible, to weld. www.lincolnelectric.com /knowledge/articles/content/castironpreheat.asp   (868 words)

Cast Iron Since cast iron was considered worthless iron up to rather recent times, a “sick iron,” it is possible to understand why the combination of bones with cast iron was called a piling up of “misery upon misery.” I suspect that Herodotos missed the explanation of this element of the riddle. It seems that iron began to be produced in China in the fifth century B. C.; the method used by the Chinese was that of producing cast iron and then reducing it to steel. Even when iron is smelted in furnaces of low temperature that are intended for the production of wrought iron, parts of the bloom that forms in these furnaces is composed of cast iron and even of steel. www.metrum.org /measures/castiron.htm   (4084 words)

Cast Iron Welding Cast iron welding should not be attempted even by experienced welders without years of high temperature oven welding training. Sure the nickel weld is machineable but the cast iron will become as hard as a drill bit or tap and therefore will prevent the proper machining that is often required. Cast iron cannot stretch and withstand the contraction and hardening caused by cast welding with preheating below 1200 deg. www.locknstitch.com /CastIronWelding.htm   (846 words)

Ever So Humble, Cast Iron Outshines the Fancy Pans - New York Times Cast iron is as good at browning as any other cookware, and its mass lets it hold a steady temperature so well that it is perfect for deep- or shallow-frying. So cast iron is a logical choice, especially in skillets, unless you require gorgeous stainless to make a style point or you can afford copper - which is ideal for sautéing because its heat distribution is incomparable - and the time to care for it. Cast iron is practically free compared with other high-quality pots and pans ($20, say, for a skillet). www.nytimes.com /2005/12/07/dining/07mini.html?ex=1291611600&en=3a662f4d98f97bc1&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss   (1055 words)

Preparing Cast Iron Alloys Because cast irons are not simple binary Fe-C alloys, it is usual practice to calculate the carbon equivalent (CE) value which is the total carbon content plus one-third the sum of the silicon and phosphorus contents. Cast irons with a composition equivalent to about 4.3% C solidify as a eutectic. Cast irons can exhibit a wide range of microstructural constituents depending upon their composition and heat treatment. www.metallography.com /technotes/iron/iron.htm   (1079 words)

Cast Iron Cooking Today's cast iron is very little changed from its pioneer forebears, with the exception of some of the new "pre-seasoned" lines, and it is still the best choice for many types of cooking applications. If you use metal utensils in your cast iron, you might end up with a little iron in your food, which your body will be happy to make good use of, whereas it wouldn't be nearly as happy with a gram or so of Teflon. Properly seasoned cast iron is as close to nonstick as you can get without using Teflon, without the health concerns that have been raised about that coating. www.americangrassfedbeef.com /cast-iron.asp   (1608 words)

cast iron repair, cast iron welding cast iron In the past, cast iron was always difficult to repair: heat the part slowly in an oven, make the weld with a nickel rod, slowly cool the part in an oven--and hope the cast iron would not recrack (it frequently did). Ni rod cools and forms a hard spot in the cast iron, which is a magnet for cracks--(envision a glass window with a rock cooled into the center). Most welders wouldn't even attempt to weld cast iron due to the tempermental nature of such repairs. www.muggyweld.com /castiron.html   (223 words)
