The results of the study of the influence of nickel and molybdenum on the structure and chemical composition of the fracture surface of cast iron with spherical graphite are presented in the paper. It is shown that the fracture of cast iron with spherical graphite occurs along the boundaries of the distribution of graphite balls with matrix, and the fracture of the matrix occurs both by the mechanism of intergranular and transgranular fractures. Molybdenum and nickel alloying changes the mechanism of transgranular fracture of the matrix from brittle for ordinary cast iron to viscous for molybdenum and nickel alloying. It is established that the fracture surfaces of cast iron, depending on the analysis places there are elements such as O, C, P, N, Cu, Ni, Si, Mg. Studies of the distribution of impurities in the near-surface layers of the destroyed samples have shown that the quantity of elements such as oxygen, phosphorus and nitrogen decreases with increasing distance from the fracture surface. The phosphorus quantity is reduced by 40 - 45% in the places of the cast iron matrix, where the graphite balls were located during the alloying of cast iron by molybdenum and nickel. Keywords: cast iron, nickel, molybdenum, alloying, Auger spectroscopy, chemical composition, structure, fracture, surface.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the fatigue characteristic and fatigue fracture mechanism of the high V-Cr-Ni spheroidal carbide cast iron (SCI-VCrNi) with spheroidal vanadium carbide (VC) dispersed within austenitic stainless matrix microstructure. The SCI-VCrNi that has high hardness was developed by 10mass%V adding to 18-8 stainless steel with spheroidal VC is distributed in the matrix. Firstly from the plane bending, the fatigue limit σw has been found to the 358MPa of SCI-VCrNi. Secondly, fracture surface observations were performed to clarify the fatigue mechanism of SCI-VCrNi. The fracture surface of SCI-VCrNi was so rough that the beach mark could not be observed. So, SEM was employed to observe, the fatigue fracture surface which showed a particular fatigue pattern. Also, many fracture cracks of VC were observed. In addition, the secondary cracks are shown at the interface between VC and the matrix. It can be suggested that the bondability between VC and the matrix is strong, and therefore, the propagation of cracks was delayed by the breakage of VC.

ABSTRACTThe chemical and microstructural changes caused by the direct implantation of solutes into metals are examined. The particular case involving Al+-ion implantation into nickel is treated in detail. Chemical composition profiles measured using Auger spectroscopy and Rutherford backscattering, and average near-surface chemical composition measured using an analytical electron microscope, are compared with model calculations. The microstructures that develop during implantation are investigated using transmission electron microscopy. For low fluences implanted near room temperature, these microstructures contain dislocations and dislocation loops. Dislocation loops, dislocations, and voids result from implantations at temperatures near 500°C. Higher fluences at these elevated temperatures produce precipitates when the composition of implanted solute lies in a two-phase region of the phase diagram. Implanted concentrations corresponding to intermetallic compounds produce continuous layers of these compounds. Room temperature, as compared to elevated temperature, implantation may produce the same phases at the appropriate concentrations, e.g. β'-NiAl, or different phases, depending on the relative stability of the phases involved.

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.

Abstract ADI subjected to austenitising at intercritical temperatures contains in its matrix the precipitates of pre-eutectoid ferrite. Studies were carried out on the ductile iron of the following chemical composition: C = 3,80%, Si = 2,30%, Mn = 0,28%, P = 0,060%, S = 0,010%, Mg = 0,065%, Ni = 0,60%, Cu = 0,70%, Mo = 0,21% This cast iron was austenitised at three different temperatures, i.e. 800, 815 and 830oC and austempered at 360 and 380oC. For each variant of the cast iron heat treatment, the mechanical properties, i.e. YS, TS, EL and Hardness, were measured, and structure of the matrix was examined. Higher plastic properties were obtained owing to the presence of certain amount of pre-eutectoid ferrite. The properties were visualised using fuzzy logic model in a MATLAB. software.

A high strength bolt with hot dip galvanizing treatment failed shortly after being installed for two days on a padeye of mooring dolphin. The bolt was installed with increasing stress on the second day in which the value was nearly twice. Investigation results showed the bolt fractured with the nut head separated from the pin. Corroded fracture surface with brittle characteristic and no plastic deformation observed dominating the failed area. Characterization of hardness and chemical composition followed with microstructure and fractography observation on the fracture surface then conducted in order to analyze the reason for this brittle fracture occurrence. Results indicate that, while the bolt conforms to the material specification in term of chemical composition, the hardness value was high. The microstructure observation reveals a transgranular crack propagation and cleavage failure occurred. The cleavage failure was clearly observed under fractography observation using scanning electron microscope. Failed galvanize layer due to mechanical failure becomes preferential site for hydrogen evolution in marine environment, which leads to hydrogen diffusion into the matrix, thus results in hardness increase. The increasing stress during installation become detrimental to the bolt and facilitate the hydrogen induce cracking. Detrimental effect of hot dip galvanize layer is pointed out in the application of high strength material in marine environment.

The paper presents the studies’ results of chemical composition, structure, and physico-mechanical properties of high-calcium ashes from the Kansk-Achinsk coals (2017-2019 selection). It was found that ash has a complex poly-mineral composition and contains hydraulically active minerals and oxides of СаОfr, β-C2S, CA, C3A, C4AF, C2F, CaSO4. According to the content of CaOfr, MgO does not meet standards’ requirements. The uniformity of the volume change is maintained by the composition with 50% of cement. The structure and hardening kinetics of ash and ash-cement stone compositions, obtained from the test of normal density, were analyzed. It was established that the hardening of compositions with ash from the Kansk-Achinsk coals was largely influenced by ash minerals. An equivalent amount of cement in composite binders cannot be replaced. In order to obtain a positive effect, compositions with ash instead cement of no more than 30% and a part of fine aggregate, without exceeding the ratio of ash: cement = 1: 1, should be used.

In the current Research , the heat cured   matrix material powder of PMMA was reinforced with peanut and walnut shells (natural powders) which are chemically treated with 5% (w/v) (NaOH) to improve the matrix bonding (PMMA) before being used as a reinforcing powder and adding to exactly similar averages particle sizes ≤ (53µm), with different weight fractions of (4, 8, and 12 wt.%). The ASTM D638 is used for composite specimens of the tensile test. The results indicated that the Elastic modulus values reached its maximum value at (8 wt.%.) when reinforced with peanut shells particles (1.053Gpa) , while ,the values of tensile strength, elongation percentage at break, decrease as the weight fraction of peanut and walnut shells powder increase and the lowest values is obtained by reinforcing with peanut shells particles to reach their minimum values at (12 wt.%.) where the lowest values of them are (29 MPa, 2.758% ) respectively. The fracture surface morphology of pure PMMA seemed to be homogenous morphology in (SEM) test, whereas the fracture surface morphology of PMMA composite reinforced by (peanut and walnut shells) powders and shows a roughness fracture surface morphology this refer to semi ductile to ductile materials.
