用cast iron wrought iron来评价最后钢的好坏是很业余的行为
这俩都是iron，最后都得靠工艺调整碳含量
西方在17世纪后大量使用cast iron来得到wrought iron,也就是中国汉代出现的炒铁工艺
现代钢铁工业，也是第一步用高炉先得到cast iron,然后用吹氧除碳得到钢
吹过了就得到熟铁，也就是wrough iron.所以中国说火候有个炉火纯青的说法
那个是一氧化碳燃烧的颜色，现代工业用的是光谱仪看这个
你要认为现代这种从cast iron得到的钢还不如西方古代平炉出来的wrought iron
那就没什么讨论必要了
西方从wrough iron出发，得到的铁剑总是偏软，有时甚至不如青铜的，得靠炉火渗碳
反复锻打才能变硬，出名的大马士革钢，靠的是从印度某地进的原料，它的矿里含钒，
后来挖没了，就失传了，这种名钢都是无数次混合锻打出来的
中国的钢铁最大的问题是含碳普遍偏高，这个直接导致容易生锈，

理科同学：请去查查cast iron的熔点，再去查查steel的熔点。知道为什么中式炼钢大
多从cast iron开始吗？因为cast iron熔点最低！因为炉子温度不够！所以只能得到
cast iron！
在早期炉温不够的条件下，西方的smelting方法直接得到wrought iron，质量比cast
iron转化过来的钢高很多，缺点是产量低、价格贵。中式perfusing steel质量低，优
点是产量高、价格便宜。对于民用农具之类，便宜量大的perfusing steel有优势；对
于兵器，只要质量高，再贵也是wrought iron好。
以上都是历史上确凿无疑的facts，不要再争辩了。谢谢！
我前面也说了：在不同市场上，只有最对，没有最好。民用钢就是便宜为王、军用钢就
是韧性为王。硬要撇开用途分个高下、甚至眼睛一闭不承认事实，是脑筋闭塞、不开化
的表现！！

The ongoing public employees' union protests in Wisconsin against the (minor
) cut in benefits witnesses these protestors comparing their struggle to
those of the popular, spontaneous public uprising raging all over the Middle
East. Such a claim however is ludicrous and laughable. The public in the
Middle Eastern countries is revolting against government tyranny. On the
contrary, if the demands of the Wisconsin protestors are heeded, it would
result in high taxes and therefo... 阅读全帖 |

Paul Ryan and the House Republicans' 2012 budget cuts 5.8 trillion in
government spending over the next decade and reduces the federal debt by 4.4
trillion relative to the CBO baseline. Tax reform is a key element of the
Ryan proposal that has already come under attack from the left. Democrats
falsely believe that a return to Clinton era taxes, especially on "the rich,

the coming years... 阅读全帖 |

The decision of who will become the next president of the United States will
be made long before November of 2012. After the current president's most
recent tour de farce before a joint session of Congress, it is rapidly
becoming a foregone conclusion who it's not going to be.
The Obama-adoring New York Times concedes that their manufactured politician

Barack Obama is a dream. In 2008, the dream was hope and change. In 2012,
it will be progress, thwarted by evil partisans and selfish greed. As
Gertrude Stein said, "there is no there there." He needs enemies to draw
attention from his lack of depth, for he is truly a mile wide and an inch
deep. He is an illusion -- always appearing to be more than he is, always,
more promise than reality. He is, and always has been, the sum projection
of what others want him to be. ... 阅读全帖 |
