The influence of graphite morphology on the phase, microstructure and properties of hot dipping and diffusion aluminizing (HDDA) coating on flake/spheroidal graphite cast iron (FC/FCD) was investigated. The microstructure and properties of the HDDA coatings on FC/FCD were determined by the graphite morphology. The outer and inner layers of the HDDA coating comprised the Fe2Al5 and FeAl phases, respectively. The outer layer of HDDA on FCD was dense and uniform; however, some pores of different sizes were found in the outer coating on FC, resulting in looser HDDA coating. Hence, the wear resistance of the HDDA coating on FC was worse than that of the coating on FCD. During oxidation, many continuous oxidation channels were formed from the coating surface to the matrix in the HDDA coating on FC, resulting in the oxidation of graphite in the HDDA coating and the matrix. However, only exposed spheroidal graphite was oxidized in the HDDA coating on FCD. Thus, the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the HDDA coating on FC was also worse than that of the coating on FCD.

Nodular Graphite

Nodular graphite cast iron or known as spheroidal graphite cast iron structurally has a spherical graphite morphology with a matrix consisting of a ferrite-pearlite phase. In general, cast iron has a main alloy consisting of carbon and silicon where both elements have an influence on the potential of graphitization and castability. In this work, the influence of strontium (Sr) added to molten cast iron with a composition of 0, 0.04, 0.06 and 0.08 wt% to graphite morphology were studied. The sample obtained will be carried out a characterization process by observing macro and microstructures using optical microscope equipped with image data processing software that displays graphite fraction, size, form and nodularity. Analysis showed that Sr addition increase in nodularization of graphite from 19.6 % to 31.5% at 0.08 wt% Sr addition.

The Matrix

The present study examined the effects of heat treatment and the addition of Cu-Ni alloy on the corrosion resistance of the matrix of spheroidal graphite cast iron in aqueous environments. Test materials of white cast iron and carbon steel were used for comparison with spheroidal graphite cast iron. The alloy spheroidal graphite cast iron that added Cu and Ni was prepared. The spheroidal graphite cast iron was subjected to three kinds of heat treatment to adjust the matrix: annealing, oil quenching, and austemper heat treatment. In electrochemical tests, measurements of corrosion electrode potential and cathode and anode polarization were used. The following was clarified from the relationship between the electrode potential and current density of each of the materials in each of the solution. The alloy spheroidal graphite cast iron had a high corrosion electrode potential owing to the addition of Cu-Ni, and tended to have a low corrosion current density. This demonstrates that in any of the materials having a matrix adjusted by heat treatment, the addition of Cu-Ni increased the corrosion resistance. The corrosion current density was highest in a sulfuric acid environment.

The spheroidal graphite cast iron is widely used as a structural material in an industrial field. Possibility to be able to use by improving magnetic characteristic of spheroidal graphite as magnetic circuit material of product related to electromagnetism besides structure material. In this study, the influence that the amount of graphite precipitation , the matrix organization, and the structure gave to a magnetic characteristic was investigated in the spheroidal graphite cast iron that makes matrix ferrite by compounding C element and the Si element and heat-treatment. The graphite was completely precipitated at the heat-treatment temperature of 1173K or more, the organizatiom became a ferrite, and permeability rose. Moreover, Rough making by heat-treatment the size about the particle size of the ferrite and the appearance of the Fe-Si phase have raised permeability.

The effects of the cooling rate, atmosphere and holding time on the graphite morphology of spheroidal graphite cast iron were studied using Ni-C alloys. Two groups of parent alloys were prepared using high purity materials, i.e., Group 1 containing the spheroidizing element of Ce, Mg or Ca, while in Group 2, S was added as an anti-spheroidizing element. For discussing the influence of the cooling rate on the graphite morphology, 0.5g of the Group 1 samples were melted and held for 15 minutes at 1673K in an Ar atmosphere, then cooled at 1000K/min or 20K/min. The results showed that perfect spheroidal graphite could not be confirmed, while irregular graphite appeared. The atmosphere was changed to Ar+3%H2 for preventing the oxidation, and the holding time was reduced to 10 minutes to prevent fading of the spheroidizing element. These results showed that the formation of spheroidal graphite was confirmed at the cooling rate of 1000K/min in both groups. Nevertheless, at the cooling rate of 20K/min, graphite morphology was only chunky or flake in both groups. In order to investigate which parameter is more important for the formation of spheroidal graphite, the atmosphere and the holding time were independently changed at the cooling rate of 1000K/min. It was found that the addition of the 3%H2 did not significantly affect the spheroidal graphite formation. Moreover, the holding times of 1min and 20min also did not significantly affect the spheroidal graphite area fraction in the Ni-C alloy, while they affected the ones containing the spheroidizing elements like Mg.

Color etching is a widely used technique for visualizing different phases in metallic materials. Its advantage to the traditional etching techniques is that it gives additional information within one phase, namely, the color shade of a given phase can change in a certain range. This paper demonstrates that, due to the physics of the color etching, the shade of a phase also depends on the crystallographic orientation of the investigated grain. As a test material, spheroidal graphite cast iron was used, and individual grain orientation was identified by automated electron back scattering diffraction (EBSD). Results showed that there is a strong correlation between grain orientation and the shades obtained by color etching.
