What is the difference between cast iron and wrought iron? Is the stove made of pig iron?
Iron hardness but brittle, hardness is small but can be wrought iron after repeated bending. Stoves are usually made of pig iron
The difference in how much carbon, iron carbon, iron carbon containing less
The difference in the number of pig iron and wrought iron carbon, iron carbon, iron carbon containing less; stove is generally made of pig iron.Pig iron: generally refers to the carbon content of iron alloy in 2~6.69%. Also called cast iron. In addition to containing carbon, pig iron also contains silicon, manganese and a small amount of sulfur, phosphorus and so on, it can be cast can not be forged.: wrought iron is relatively pure iron with refined iron. The carbon content below 0.02%, also known as iron, iron. Pure iron requires low content of carbon, phosphorus, sulfur and other impurities. The smelting is difficult, and the manufacturing cost is much higher than that of pig iron and steel.The main difference is that the pig iron, wrought iron and steel carbon content, carbon content of more than 2% of iron is iron; carbon content of less than 0.04% of the iron, the carbon content in the name of wrought iron; 0.03%~2% iron, called steel.
