Network Morphology

ABSTRACTA white cast iron of composition Fe81C14Si5 can be cast into a nanostructure with network morphology by a fluxing technique. The conventional morphology of white cast iron, which is brittle, is eutectic. The mechanical behavior of network white cast iron is attractive. Hardness tests indicate that its average hardness value is ∼770 HV. The indentations made during hardness tests have no cracks. A stylus surface profiler was employed to study the surface profile at and near the indentations. The studies indicate that there are severe plastic flows, but without cracks.

ABSTRACTMinor additions (0.05-0.2 wt.%) of sodium chloride, hexachloroethane and elemental sulphur to commercial white iron melts have been found to enhance the kinetics of first stage graphitisation during subsequent annealing of white iron samples. The optimum dose of sodium chloride and hexachloroethane addition is around 0.1%. Yield strength and ductility of annealed test bars treated with NaCl or C2Cl6 compare favourably with those of untreated test bars. Sulphur treatment causes slight deterioration in mechanical properties. Fully grown nodules in both treated and untreated samples appear porous under SEM. Possible mechanisms of acceleration of graphitisation in the treated samples have been suggested.

This paper presents an analytical method for the determination of minor metals in white cast iron fused buttons. This method enables the measurement of metals in cast iron with rapidity and excellent analytical results. Buttons of 40 g appear to be ideal but smaller button samples can be tolerated. The fused buttons have good homogeneity, very slight weight loss, and no significant change in composition. Metal cast spectrochemical samples are analyzed in an inert atmosphere utilizing a high voltage spark.
