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

[–] Jamablaya@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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?
