Briefly describe the differences between iron and steel

This article focuses on the differences between iron and steel:

Iron is divided into pig iron and wrought iron. The wrought iron, steel and pig iron are all iron-carbon alloys, which are distinguished by the amount of carbon. Generally, the content of carbon containing less than 0.2% is called wrought iron or pure iron, the content of which is 0.2-1.7% of steel, and the content of 1.7% or more is called pig iron. The cooked iron is soft, good in plasticity, easy to deform, low in strength and hardness, and not widely used; pig iron contains a lot of carbon, hard and brittle, and has almost no plasticity;

Steel has the advantages of both pig iron and wrought iron, and is widely used by humans.

When selecting materials for casting swords, the material usually used is pig iron. However, when casting a sword, it must be refined steel. What is the difference between pig iron and steel? We know that the main difference between pig iron, wrought iron and steel is that the carbon content is more than 2% iron, called pig iron; the iron with less than 0.05% carbon is called wrought iron; the carbon content is 0. The iron in 05%-2% is called steel. The knife made of block iron-making and carbon-permeable steel is relatively sharp, but it still can't reach the level of “breaking the jade and cutting the iron like mud”.

Since the quality of this steel is not good enough, it is very difficult to grasp the degree of infiltration of this steel carbon, the degree of impurity distribution, and the production efficiency is extremely low. In order to improve the quality of steel, ancient Chinese craftsmen invented the new technology of "100 steelmaking" from the middle of the Western Han Dynasty. Shen Kuo, a famous scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty, described the process of the magnetic steel in Baizhou in "Meng Xi Bi Tan", which is the continuous burning and forging for more than 100 times. The so-called "100 steelmaking" means that the block iron making is repeatedly heated and folded for forging, so that the steel structure is dense, the composition is uniform, and the impurities are reduced, thereby improving the quality of the steel. The sword made of hundreds of steels is of high quality.

Rotor Pump With Rectangle-inlet

We are a world-leading technology-based enterprise focus on R&D and manufactures non-Newtonian fluid conveying equipment. We specialize in rotary pumps, homogeneous pumps and grinding pumps. We have obtained 11 invention Patents and 46 practical patents, and won many national honorary titles.


Twin-rotor lobe pump are multi-functional and bi-directional positive displacement pumps, produced with fine technology. These products use synchronic rotors, driven by a pair of synchronic gears in the gear box. Transmitted by the main shaft and the sub-shaft. The rotors move synchronically in counter-clockwise a directions, which, consequently, varies the pump capacity and builds up high vacuum capacity and emission pressure. It is particularly suitable to pump sanitary medium, high-corrosive and high-viscous medium.


Rotor pump with with rectangle-inlet: The inlet design is V-inlet, enlarge the inlet diameter, convenient for high viscosity medium enter pump body. Suitable for high viscosity or thickness medium, such as moon cake filling, bean paste filling and other medium with poor fluidity.


In the past 30 years, we dedicate to provide the scientific and professional solutions in fluid field. In the field of complex fluid transportation, our company's R&D technology, manufacturing technology, application technology is at the leading position in the world.


Durrex pumps can be widely used in food, consumer chemical, refined chemical, paper making, chemical fiber, pharmaceuticals, coating, etc. We will continue to focus on scientific research and innovation, improve the level of precision manufacturing, and continuously promote the intelligent development of fluid transportation industry, to create greater value for global users
