React with the steel.. in the cast iron? I'm confused
cast iron is basically steel, but has it's own name because it's brittle. roughly between half a percent to 3 percent carbon (among other things) is the base of many steels. "cast iron" is about 4 percent carbon and pretty much no ductility
Steel is like 98% iron. Sorry for the mistake.
But cast iron doesn't contain steel, it contains iron and carbon
good lord. steel is iron and carbon, just not so much carbon it becomes brittle and called cast iron
What do you think carbon steel is made from?
Cast iron and steel are largely similar materials, cast iron just has the carbon precipitated out of solution instead of trapped in a crystalline structure
But we're talking specifically about cast iron. We're not talking about carbon steel at all, hence my confusion on why it was brought up in this comment chain
Are you a bot or just fucking retarded?
You're taking this way too personally
