Find out all you need to know about the metallography of cast iron – including how to prepare cast iron for metallographic analysis and information on the microstructures of cast iron – with expertise and insight from Struers, the world’s leading …

Part 1 gives a historical description of the development of ironworking techniques since the earliest times. Part 2 is the core of the book and deals with the metallurgical basis of microstructures, with four main themes: phase diagrams, solidification processes, diffusion, and solid state phase transformations.

2009年9月1日 · The various microstructures of cast irons are reviewed, including carbidic and graphite forms (flake, compacted, spheroidal, and undercooled, etc.), exploring whether the presence of externally introduced defects in the form of oxide double films (bifilms) in suspension in melts seem to provide, for the first time, a uniform explanation for all ...

2022年3月17日 · Microstructural characteristics of cast iron, such as the graphite shape and distribution, and the metal matrix microstructure, depend on the chemical composition, the casting process, and the cooling condition .

Cast iron exhibits a wide range of mechanical properties, depending on its microstructural features. The microstructure of cast iron consists of several microconstituents with different...

The article provides information on nearly 100 micrographs, discussing the microstructure of flake graphite in gray iron, nodular graphite in ductile iron, and temper graphite in malleable iron. It also examines the matrix microstructures of gray, ductile, compacted, and malleable cast iron samples.

This chapter is intended to give basic background information to grey cast iron, how the microstructure is defined, the terminology and material properties. The focus will be on grey cast iron issues that concerns the thesis work. The carbon content in an iron-carbon alloy is what essentially differentiates cast iron from steel. If the

The application features of cast iron depend on its microstructure, which develops and stabilises depending on the composition, the cooling conditions dictated by the process, the use of certain technological operations such as inoculation and spheroidization, as well as …

ABSTRACT: This paper describes an automatic system for segmentation and quantification of the microstructures of white cast iron. Mathematical morphology algorithms are used to segment the microstructures in the input images, which are later identified and quantified by an artificial neuronal network.

6 天之前 · In the present work, the gray cast iron was prepared using 80% steel scrap collected from outside and 20% from the in-house plant returns. The effect of Mo co-alloying in the presence of Cu on the microstructural and mechanical properties of gray cast iron has been investigated. The results show that the A-type graphite flakes have increased with Mo content until M2 (0.5% Mo). There is no ...
