This study aims to assess the solidification shrinkage and expansion during the solidification of cast irons. The solidification shrinkage and expansion in cast irons are due to the formation of austenite and graphite respectively. In this study, the linear displacement method was used to observe the solidification event combined with the cooling curve analysis. It was found that the cooling and displacement curves show good correlations in time of events during solidification. The displacement due to graphite expansion increased with the carbon equivalent. The linear expansion of 0.2 to 1.9 mm was observed for the carbon equivalents ranged from 3.7 to 4.5. On the other hand, the displacement due to the austenite shrinkage was found to decrease with increasing carbon equivalents.

Light transmission in the reflection fiber system, located in external optical media, has been investigated for application as sensors. The system was simulated by different models, including external cavity parameters such as the distance between light emitting and receiving fibers and mirror positioning distance. The sensitivity to a linear displacement of the sensors was studied as a function of the distance between the tips of the light emitting fiber and the center of the pair reflected light collecting fibers, by positioning a mirror. Physical fundamentals and operating principles of the advanced fiber optical sensors were revealed.

Abstract Meehanite GB300 is a pearlitic gray cast iron that has a minimum tensile strength of 300 MPa (44 ksi), when determined on test pieces machined from separately cast, 30 mm (1.2 in.) diameter test bars. This grade exhibits high strength while still maintaining good thermal conductivity and good machinability. It is generally used for applications where the thermal conductivity requirements preclude the use of other higher-strength materials, such as spheroidal graphite cast irons, which have inferior thermal properties. This datasheet provides information on physical properties, hardness, tensile properties, and compressive strength as well as fatigue. It also includes information on low and high temperature performance as well as heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: CI-75. Producer or source: Meehanite Metal Corporation.
