什麼是鑄鐵
鐵的合金,含碳2~4%,還含有數量不等的矽、錳、硫、磷。鑄鐵是在高爐內還原鐵礦石生產的,放出鐵水澆注冷卻成錠,稱為生鐵。鑄鐵與熟鐵不同,不能鍛造,只能鑄造成型,性脆、抗拉強度低,但產品價廉。鑄鐵有較高的抗壓強度,以致成為首要的結構金屬。18~19世紀時,鑄鐵是比熟鐵較為便宜的工程材料。20世紀建築業以鋼取代鑄鐵,但在工業中仍有許多用途,如汽車發動機缸體、農業機械和機器零件、管道、凹形器皿、火爐、熔爐等。按照斷面顏色,鑄鐵有灰口或白口之分。灰口鐵含矽較高,硬度較低,比白口鐵加工性能好。白口鐵和灰口鐵均較脆。18世紀,在法國發展了白口鑄鐵經長時間加熱處理生產可鍛鑄鐵。1948年在美國和英國發明瞭在鑄造狀態下就有延伸性的鑄鐵。這類韌性鑄鐵,現已形成重要的金屬體系,廣泛用於齒輪、模具、汽車曲軸和許多其他機械零件。
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.

什麼是農業中毒
農業、林業、牧業、漁業與養殖業生產過程中,接觸有毒化學物質引起的中毒。農業從業人員接觸各種有毒化學物質的機會較多,因此容易中毒。中毒有急、慢性,嚴重的中毒可導致死亡。有些毒物還可以引起腫瘤或子代畸形。在生產過程中,加強安全防護措施,能夠有效地防止農業...

什麼是浸潤
組織內侵入了異常的細胞或出現了正常情況下不應出現的機體細胞,以及某些病變組織向周圍擴展的現象。在細胞內或間質中出現異常的物質、或原有的某些物質的堆積過多也稱為浸潤。有的變性或沉積也稱為浸潤。浸潤大多為病理性的,但有時是為了治療目的而人為的。它們...

什麼是羊水
充滿羊膜腔位於胎體周圍的液體。隨着妊娠時期的不同,其來源、容量與組成亦有變化。妊娠早期羊水主要是由母體血漿通過胎膜進入羊膜腔的漏出液,澄清透明。妊娠中期起,胎兒尿液可能成為羊水的重要來源,此時羊水略混濁,並有白色小片狀物質(脱落的毳毛、皮膚細胞、胎脂)懸...

什麼是六淫
自然界風、寒、暑、濕、燥、火六種致病因素的合稱。“淫”有太過之意。風、寒、暑、濕、燥、火本指自然界六種不同的氣候或環境狀態,合稱六氣。若六氣太過、不及或與季節時間不符,超過人體所能適應的限度,則成為致病因素,這種情況下的六氣即成為六淫,或稱六邪。六淫...
