什么是铸铁
铁的合金,含碳2~4%,还含有数量不等的矽、锰、硫、磷。铸铁是在高炉内还原铁矿石生产的,放出铁水浇注冷却成锭,称为生铁。铸铁与熟铁不同,不能锻造,只能铸造成型,性脆、抗拉强度低,但产品价廉。铸铁有较高的抗压强度,以致成为首要的结构金属。18~19世纪时,铸铁是比熟铁较为便宜的工程材料。20世纪建筑业以钢取代铸铁,但在工业中仍有许多用途,如汽车发动机缸体、农业机械和机器零件、管道、凹形器皿、火炉、熔炉等。按照断面颜色,铸铁有灰口或白口之分。灰口铁含矽较高,硬度较低,比白口铁加工性能好。白口铁和灰口铁均较脆。18世纪,在法国发展了白口铸铁经长时间加热处理生产可锻铸铁。1948年在美国和英国发明了在铸造状态下就有延伸性的铸铁。这类韧性铸铁,现已形成重要的金属体系,广泛用於齿轮、模具、汽车曲轴和许多其他机械零件。
cast iron
Alloy of iron that contains 2-4% carbon, along with silicon, manganese, and impurities. It is made by reducing iron ore in a blast furnace (cast iron is chemically the same as blast-furnace iron) and casting the liquid iron into ingots called pigs. Pig iron is remelted, along with scrap and alloying elements, in cupola furnaces and recast into molds for a variety of products. In the 18th-19th century, cast iron was a cheaper engineering material than wrought iron (not requiring intensive refining and hammering). It is more brittle and lacks tensile strength. Its compressive (load-bearing) strength made it the first important structural metal. In the 20th century, steel replaced it as a construction material, but cast iron still has industrial applications in automobile engine blocks, agricultural and machine parts, pipes, hollowware, stoves, and furnaces. Most cast iron is either so-called gray iron or white iron, the colors shown by fracture; gray iron contains more silicon and is less hard and more machinable than white iron. Both are brittle, but malleable cast iron (produced by prolonged heat treating), first made in 18th-century France, was developed into an industrial product in the U.S. (see Seth Boyden). Cast iron that is ductile as cast was invented in 1948. The latter now constitutes a major family of metals, widely used for gears, dies, automobile crankshafts, and many other machine parts.

什么是洪水预报
根据洪水形成和运动的规律,利用过去和现时水文气象资料,预测未来一定时段内的洪水情况。是水文预报中最重要的内容。一次洪水过程约数小时至数天,预见期较短,故常称短期洪水预报。洪水预报包括河道洪水预报、流域洪水预报、水库洪水预报等。主要预报项目有最高洪水...

什么是土壤地带性学说
认为土壤的发生、发展和分布,在生物因素为主导的诸成土因素综合影响下,呈现与气候带相适应的地带性现象。表现为成土过程、土壤性状与各自然地理要素之间存在着相互联系和制约。不论风化壳类型,矿物质的迁移和转化,有机质的分解、合成和累积,以及物质的淋溶和淀积等...

什么是岩体人工改造
改变岩体的组成成分或岩体结构、岩体赋存环境,以达到工程活动目的的措施。岩体改造的目标有两个方面:其一是强化或加固岩体,增强岩体的自稳能力。如为了提高隧道稳定性而用锚固、灌浆或卸载环等技术对岩体结构或围岩中应力状态进行的改造。其二是弱化岩体,增加岩...
