Iterating Block ciphers Definition A product cipher combines two or more transformations in a manner intending that the resulting cipher is more secure than the individual components. Definition An iterated block cipher is a block cipher involving the sequential repetition of an internal function called a round function. Parameters include the number of rounds Nr, the block bitsize n, and the bitsize k of the input key K from which Nr subkeys Ki (round keys) are derived. For invertibility (allowing unique decryption), for each value Ki the round function is a bijection on the round input
Using sand moulds for step-shape casting tests and different silicon percentage of nodular cast iron it was possible to separate structural variations produced during freezing from those occurring at Ac1 transformation temperature. The results show that an increase in silicon content leading to different variation in the matrix structure> leads to a changing mechanical properties of nodular cast irons. Tensile strength and elongation of obtained as-cast nodular cast iron with the composition of 3.9%C, 3.2%Si, 0.5%Mn are maximum of about 524.5N/mm2 and 19.8% accordingly. In the same nodular cast iron, but only with 0.1% Mn the silicon addition first increases after decreases elongation, impact toughness and hardness. But tensile strength changes to the opposite side
