White cast iron

== Description ==
A hard brittle cast iron that contains less than 1% silicon. White cast iron is heated for long periods at 800-900 C then cooled rapidly. This produces a matrix of cementite (Fe3C). White cast iron is very wear resistant and is used for rollers and machinery.
== Synonyms and Related Terms ==
cermet; ferro fundido branco (Port.)
==Physical and Chemical Properties==
Very brittle, but good hardness and abrasion resistance.

* Leaves=oblong (10-16 cm) with 7 to 10 rounded lobes. 
* Fruit=long, oval acorn with warty cap, maturation takes one year
Paper fiber type: hardwood, ring porous. Using transmitted light microscopy, pulp is identified by two sizes of vessels with profuse pitting. The smaller late wood vessels of white oak will stain similarly to the early wood vessels, which can help distinguish pulp from red oak. Vasocentric trachieds are worm-like and heavily pitted. Perforations are simple. Tyloses may be present. Appearance with Graff "C" stain: dark blue, but varies with bleaching. Average dimensions of fibers: length 1.47, 14-22μm wide. Common pulping method: kraft.
