React with the steel.. in the cast iron? I'm confused

[-] ch00f@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Steel is like 98% iron. Sorry for the mistake.

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

But cast iron doesn't contain steel, it contains iron and carbon

[-] nBodyProblem@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

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

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

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?

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

You're taking this way too personally

[-] Jamablaya@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago

All the blather you morons make about disinformation, and then you try argue chemistry on how you feel.

Maybe get off the Internet and touch some grass if you're going to get this upset over a cast iron pan discussion. There's no excuse for name calling and insults.

[-] Jamablaya@lemmy.world 1 points 35 minutes ago

Maybe quit aggravating people with your idiocy.

good lord. steel is iron and carbon, just not so much carbon it becomes brittle and called cast iron

[-] Jamablaya@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

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
