In this study, the effects of fillers on the technological properties of polyurethane sealants and the physical and mechanical properties of air moisture curing sealants are investigated. The sequence of loading the components in the dissolver, factoring in the presence of a latent curing agent, is demonstrated. It was found that when filling within 20-80 parts weight per 100 parts weight of the pre-polymer, the general complex of physical and mechanical properties remains high. With the introduction of mineral dispersed filler, the tear strength increases, but the relative elongation at break decreases. The increase in the tensile strength occurs up to a certain limit, after which there is a decrease in the strength of the sealant. It was shown that based on the oil absorption value of the fillers, the type and the amount of a filler for the sealant can be evaluated, as oil absorption directly depends on the particle size, surface area and particle shape of the filler. It was observed that for maintaining high physical and mechanical properties of the composite and the optimum viscosity of the sealant, it is preferable to combine two kinds of fillers with different oil absorption. It was established that the application of fillers with high and low oil absorption has a positive effect on the technological and performance properties of sealants. The filler with high oil absorption contributes to the thixotropy of the sealant, while the filler with low oil absorption allows to form a more highly filled composite while preserving the high strength characteristics.

Application of ductile cast iron ADI is feasible and cost-effective, provided that there is a clear understanding of the mechanisms for the formation of their high complex mechanical properties. The use of such materials for the production of variable parts of machinery, or in other units of automobile and machine building will significantly extend the life of the equipment. It is established that the level of mechanical characteristics of the ADI cast iron varies in full accordance with the theoretical concepts of the influence of the tempering temperature on the formation of mechanical properties of such materials. The previous plastic deformation does not affect the mechanism of formation of pseudo-elasticity. The tendency to dampening increases with an increase in the temperature of isothermal quenching. The damping behavior of a material is a consequence of the formation of pseudo-elastic twins in the structure of the transformed martensite.

Various modifiers are used for non-furnace processing of cast iron. Some of them are designed for inoculating modification, which improves mechanical properties and eliminates the appearance of whiteness in castings, while others are designed for spheroidizing processing, in particular for producing cast iron with spherical and vermicular graphite. Some have both spheroidizing and inoculating properties. The main part of inoculating and spheroidizing modifiers is made on iron-silicon, Nickel and copper bases.In addition to the chemical composition, the size of the modifier particles, as well as their shape, are of great importance for modification. The optimal size of the fraction depends significantly on the non-furnace processing technology. Thus, for the larger the bucket and the longer the casting the longer the modification effect is required. One of the methods to achieve this is to increase the particle size of the modifier to 50 mm. When intraform processing of cast iron with spherical and vermicular graphite, magnesium-containing modifiers have strict limits on the upper size (4...5 mm), and in addition, the content of small fractions (less than 0.6...1 mm) is not allowed.The use of «heavy» magnesium-containing ligatures for spheroidizing modification of cast iron in order to obtain higher physical and mechanical properties has scientific and practical interest. Numerous studies show that for maximum effect the formation of the structure of the spheroidal graphite, dispersed pearlite metallic base of SGI (spheroidal graphite iron) relevant question is not only selection of the chemical composition of magnesium alloys, but also of the fractional composition, as well as effective method of input into the liquid melt.The purpose of this work was to study the technological features of obtaining cast iron with spherical graphite by bucket modification of copper-magnesium ligature.The researchers used a Leo–1420 scanning microscope, a Polam l-213 optical microscope, and a VEGA II LMU electron microscope with an INCA ENERGY 350 microanalyzer. High-speed induction melting plant, a set of equipment for analyzing the technological and mechanical properties of high-strength cast iron were used.Earlier experimental studies have shown the real possibility of obtaining in the laboratory a «heavy» copper-magnesium alloys as the alloying of magnesium metal with copper, followed by rapid cooling with use of rolling and plastic deformation of powder alloys. Analysis of test results of samples of such alloys showed that it depends on the value of its additives into liquid iron in the structure of formed graphite phase in compacted and globular form. At the same time, the metal base of cast iron is additionally alloyed with copper, which has a favorable effect on the strength characteristics of SGI.However, an urgent problem is the possibility of the appearance of a cementite phase in the structure of high-strength cast iron as a result of its increased supercooling due to the process of spheroidization of the graphite phase. This phenomenon is compounded by the fact that the copper-magnesium ligature, in contrast to the «light» ligature, does not contain silicon active graphitizer. This feature must be taken into account when obtaining high-strength cast iron of high grades.

The effects of Ar purification on the impurity characteristic, graphite morphology and quality indexes of high strength gray cast iron were investigated by microstructures analysis and mechanical properties examination. The results show that there are a large amount of particles and floccule impurities in the specimens without Ar purification. The granular impurities usually have been incorrectly considered as “C-type” graphite observed by optical microscopy in the metallographic examination in the practical production of small and medium high strength gray cast iron castings. The amount of impurities is greatly decreased and the quality indexes of high strength gray cast iron with Ar purification are markedly improved.

Kaolin is a material with broad sources and a low price. Metakaolin is made from kaolin which is calcined, finely ground at an optimum temperature of 750 being kept constant for 4 hours. High strength and performance concrete can be mixed from metakaolin as a substitute for equal mass cement. The influences of 5%, 10% and 15% metakaolin in substitution of equal cement masses were studied on the mechanical properties of high-performance concrete. The test results showed that the addition of metakaolin improved the cubic compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength of HPC, among which the improvement in compressive strength was the most siginificant, and simultaneously, there was also an improvement in concrete toughness in a certain degree. The optimum content of metakaolin is 10% resulting in an increase of the cubic compressive strength of concrete by 8.3% correspondingly.

High‐strength cast iron is used for manufacturing the supporting elements of minerals and cement clinker grinding machines. The dross layer remains inside large dimension castings after manufacturing. It has worse mechanical properties and resistance to fatigue crack formation and propagation. In this paper, the results of an experimental investigation of cyclic bending strength of semi‐natural specimens from cast iron with a dross layer of 10–11 mm thickness are presented. The mechanical properties and structures of the base and dross layers differed considerably. Before testing the methods of defectoscopy were applied to detect technology defects. The stress ratio was r = ‐0,62 and the stress alternating range varied from 70 to 280 MPa. To 1*108cycles, crack growth was insignificant. Further crack propagation was controlled. The 1st specimen was broken after 3*108 and the 2nd one after 2*108 cycles. The dependencies of crack propagation on cycle number and stress intensity factor range were estimated. The dross layer stops crack propagation, when crack front passes from dross to base metal.

Abstract With the continuous development of metal manufacturing technology, high-strength and high-hardness ductile iron materials have excellent comprehensive performance. Many performance indexes are comparable to those of alloy steels, and they have excellent casting properties. Many large-scale parts produced by cast steel are slowly being replaced by this material. Ductile iron is obtained by a spheroidizing treatment and inoculation to obtain spheroidal graphite. The mechanical properties of cast iron have been effectively improved, especially plasticity and toughness, and the strength obtained is higher than that of carbon steel. Ductile iron has the properties of iron and the properties of steel. It is a new type of engineering material with high plasticity, strength, corrosion resistance, and wear-resistance. Because of its excellent performance, it has been successfully used to cast parts with high-stress conditions, high strength, toughness and wear resistance. Due to the small splitting effect of ductile iron on the metal matrix, the stress concentration is effectively eliminated. Therefore, the matrix structure of ductile cast iron is changed by heat treatment, thereby improving its mechanical properties and the damping performance of the material itself. Through a heat treatment process experiment of ductile iron, the related process and technical measures of damping performance in the heat treatment production process are obtained.
