støpejernets
Støpejernets is a term that refers to cast iron in Norwegian. Cast iron is an alloy of iron with a minimum carbon content of approximately 2%. Other elements, such as silicon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur, are also present in varying amounts. The presence of carbon in such a high proportion, compared to steel, makes cast iron brittle and gives it a relatively low melting point, which facilitates casting.
There are several types of cast iron, each with distinct properties and applications. Gray cast iron, characterized
The manufacturing process for cast iron involves melting iron ore, scrap iron, and other alloying elements
