Diffusion bonding of grey cast iron to ARMCO iron and a carbon steel

In many years, corrosion has been such issues for carbon steel. Eggshell waste is believed to be a potential coating material for carbon steel in many applications. This paper introducing the use of eggshell waste which contents a source of calcium carbonate as corrosion prevention coating material on the grey cast iron by utilizing electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. Eggshell consisted of 94-95 % of calcium carbonate in the form of calcite and others. Thus, calcium carbonate precipitation can serve as naturally formed coating on the cast iron pipe and prevent diffusion of oxygen that can direct to corrosion. Besides, this method will also prevent the lengthy and complex corrosion control piping system. In this study, the eggshell has been successfully coated on the grey cast iron substrate with optimum condition of 80 V for 1 minute deposition time at the sintering temperature of 600°C. From the preliminary work, thin and uniform coating thickness were produced at 1 minute deposition time and moderate voltage values of 60 – 80V.

Abstract: Connecting Rods are an important and irreplaceable part of IC Engines. It is responsible for converting the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotary motion of the crankshaft. During this process, the connecting rod is subjected to various loads. Therefore, the materials used for connecting rod are also very important. In this paper, a static structural analysis of a connecting rod made of 5 different materials: Forged Steel, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Grey Cast Iron and Titanium Alloy are compared. The connecting rod is analyzed only for the axial compressive load and not the axial tensile load because the tensile load is very much lesser than the compressive load. The connecting rod’s model is developed in FUSION 360 software and then imported to and analyzed using Finite Element Method in the ANSYS 2021 WORKBENCH software. The equivalent stress, total deformation along with the factor of safety for all the materials is found and compared in the analysis and all the results are shown with the help of images and graphs. Keywords: Connecting Rod, FEA, ANSYS WORKBENCH, Structural Analysis, Forged Steel, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Grey Cast Iron, Titanium Alloy.
