<p>High-Chromium White Cast Iron is a material highly used in mining and drilling shafts for oil extraction, due to its high wear resistance. However, because of the austenitic matrix found in the as-cast state, an adequate heat treatment cycle is necessary. This paper studies the effects of different cooling media after a destabilization treatment on the microstructure, hardening and abrasion resistance behaviors of a hypoeutectic high chromium white cast iron. The results show that although air cooling followed by immersion in CO2 can effectively reduce the retained austenite, this is not enough to transform completely the retained austenite into martensite. The low retained austenite percentages improve bulk hardness, but they decrease the abrasion resistance of the high chromium cast iron. The best combination of hardness and wear resistance was found in the samples cooled in air, due to the percentage of retained austenite and a moderate precipitation of chromium carbide.</p>

The variations of microstructure and mechanical properties of a high-chromium cast iron for rolls were studied from as-cast to the final heat treatments. Results show that the as-cast microstructure of the HCCI consists of M7C3carbide, M23C6carbide, martensite matrix, and retained austenite. The large dendritic M7C3carbide surrounds the matrix, and the M23C6carbide is mainly distributed in the matrix. Part of M23C6carbide transforms to M7C3carbide and is dissolved in austenite during austenization at 1020°C. Thus, the amount of M23C6carbide decreases, whereas that of M7C3carbide increases after quenching; the highest hardness is also obtained. After tempering, the martensite transforms to a tempered martensite, and some carbide precipitates in the martensite matrix. The hardness also changes from HRC62.1, which corresponds to quenching, to HRC55.2 and HRC56.3, which correspond to once and twice tempering, respectively. However, tempering could improve the impact toughness and wear resistance of the HCCI.

The effects and the mechanisms of namo TiN on the high chromium cast iron are studied, the material has been prepared through infiltration casting and addition of high carbon ferrochrome powder and nano TiN powder. The alloy is formed on the surfaced of guide plate, and the wear resistance of alloy have been studied by means of SEM, XRD micro-analysis and wear-resistant performance. The grain size and the type of carbide in the organization are affected by nano TiN, and the wear resistance of carbon chromium alloy layer is affected by the type of carbide; when the addition of nano TiN is 1% (wt), the grain size is apparently refined, overeutectic primary M7C3 in the hypereutectic is precipitated uniformly in considerable amounts, therefore the wear resistance of alloy can be improved effectively.

To increase the wear resistance of components in slurry pump suffering from serious corrosive abrasion, new super high chromium cast iron (SHCCI) which contains 37wt.% chromium approximately and different carbon content were developed based on the high chromium cast iron with 26wt.% Cr (Cr26). The microstructure of SHCCI was investigated by SEM and XRD. The hardness and impact toughness of SHCCI was tested, and the corrosive wear property of SHCCI was also researched using MCF-30 type erosion abrasion tester under H3PO4 medium condition. The results show that the microstructure of SHCCI is composed of carbide of M7C3+M23C6, martensite and retained austenite. With the increase of carbon content, the hardness of SHCCI first increases and then decreases, the toughness increases, and the corrosive wear property decreases. The relative wear resistance of SHCCI is obviously superior to that of Cr26 cast iron, and the maximal relative wear resistance of SHCCI is three times higher than that of Cr26 cast iron.
