Not being a metallurgist, I can't speak with any level of authority, but I will venture this: Since Cast iron is typically much thicker than stainless, it would stand to reason that it will hold the

My reference gives cast iron as 9.9 to 12.0, while stainless steel is 17. So, stainless expands roughly half again as much as cast iron for the same temperature rise. Randall On Sunday, September 24,
