Cavitation Erosion Resistance

The paper presents the cavitation stand used, the work methodology, the trials realized on specimens of gray cast irons, with flake graphite and spheroidal-graphite, which were tested for cavitation erosion during different periods of time of the cavitation attack. Finally, the conclusions were interpreted on the basis of comparative graphics realized at the macro and microstructures level obtained for these two types of cast iron. Of the two types of gray cast iron, the nodular cast iron presents a better cavitation erosion resistance.

Abstract ISO 185/JL/350 is a higher-tensile-strength gray cast iron that has a pearlitic matrix, and a tensile strength of 350–450 MPa (51–65 ksi), when determined on test pieces machined from separately cast, 30 mm (1.2 in.) diameter test bars. It provides a combination of high strength while still maintaining good thermal conductivity compared with other types of cast iron. This grade approaches the maximum tensile strength attainable in gray cast iron. Applications therefore tend to be confined to those where thermal conductivity requirements in service preclude the use of one of the other higher-strength materials such as spheroidal graphite cast irons, which have inferior thermal properties. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and tensile properties. It also includes information on wear resistance as well as casting and heat treating.

Coupled Growth

This work studies the evolution of the macrostructure of gray cast iron as the carbon equivalent (CE) increases from near-eutectic to highly hypereutectic values. The macrostructure of spherical samples of flake graphite irons of CE ranging between 4.24% and 5.23% was revealed by using direct austempering after solidification technique (DAAS). The results were analysed by applying the concept of coupled zone for gray cast irons. The coupled zone is a region in the stable Fe-C-Si diagram in which solidification proceeds as a cooperative growth of both austenite and flake graphite. The coupled zone for gray cast iron is claimed to be asymmetrical as the eutectic reaction is extended towards the prolongation of the austenite liquidus line. All the samples investigated in the present study show the presence of relatively large austenite grains, demonstrating that the number of active nucleation sites of austenite per unit volume is small. The observation of the microstructure shows the presence of several units of coupled growth inside each austenite grain, what proves that many eutectic colonies have grown from the same austenite nucleus, even for highly hypereutectic compositions. Colour etching was employed to reveal the “hidden” dendrites present in the microstructure. The results suggest that proeutectic graphite is not a good nucleating agent for austenite. These results contribute to the understanding of the solidification of hypereutectic gray irons and verify the earlier understanding of the solidification of eutectic gray irons and its extension to hypereutectic compositions.

Abstract ISO 185/JL/300 is a higher-tensile-strength gray cast iron that has a pearlitic matrix; it has a tensile strength of 300–400 MPa (44–58 ksi), when determined on test pieces machined from separately cast, 30 mm (1.2 in.) diameter test bars. It provides high strength while still maintaining good thermal conductivity compared with other types of cast iron. This grade approaches the maximum tensile strength attainable in gray cast iron. Applications therefore tend to be confined to those where thermal conductivity requirements in service preclude the use of one of the other higher-strength materials such as spheroidal graphite cast irons, which have inferior thermal properties.

The paper has been devoted to study of white, chilled and gray cast iron. It has been showed that white cast irons’ ingots are characterized by high level of properties. What is why such materials are used at high temperature and wear condition. Carbides’ and granites existence in the structure increase properties of chilled cast iron. Such cast irons are used for details of metallurgical and other branches of industry. Flake graphite in structure of cast iron decreases level of analyzed properties. But ingots of such cast iron showed high values of tensile strength on compression.

Machining Operations

Silicon nitride cutting tools have been used successfully for machining hard materials, like: cast irons, nickel based alloys, etc. However these cutting tools with diamond coating present little information on dry turning operations of gray cast iron. In the present work, Si3N4 square inserts was developed, characterized and subsequently coated with diamond for dry machining operations on gray cast iron. All experiments were conducted with replica. It was used a 1500, 3000, 4500 m cutting length, feed rate of 0.33 mm/rev and keeping the depth of cut constant and equal to 1 mm. The results show that wear in the tool tips of the Si3N4 inserts, in all cutting conditions, was caused by both mechanical and chemical processes. To understand the tool wear mechanisms, a morphological analysis of the inserts, after experiments, has been performed by SEM and optical microscopy. Diamond coated PVD inserts showed to be capable to reach large cutting lengths when machining gray cast iron.

The Relationship

The increase of the strength of gray cast iron is mainly depended on alloying. However, with the improvement of strength, its processing performance will always decrease. So three different gray cast irons are studied in this experiment, including adding 0.1% Nb elements, adding 0.2% Nb elements and adding 0.3% Nb elements, to investigate the Nbs effect to the mechanical performance of gray cast iron, we adopt Dynamic Strain Amplifier to measure cutting force to evaluate processing performance, use Optical Microscope and Electron Microscopy observe each samples organization, explains the relationship between Nbs content and the mechanical and processing performance of gray cast iron from micro-level. Finally, we draw the conclusion: when the Nb comes to 0.3 percent, the appearance of E-type graphite and Nb carbide durum granular will greatly decrease its processing performance.

Cast Irons

Two gray cast irons with equal tensile strength were prepared to investigate the influence of alloying on the machinability of gray iron. After 75SiFe modifying treatment, they were alloyed by the mixture additive containing RE, Cr, Mn, Si and Fe with a certain proportion and pure copper, respectively. The hardness, section sensitivity, structuralhomogenity and machinability were tested in this experiment. The results show that both of the gray irons have the same brinell hardness and the micro-hardness. The section sensitivity of the gray iron alloyed by the mixture additive is smaller than the gray iron alloyed by copper. The main cutting force of the cast iron alloyed by the mixture additive is lower than that of the cast iron alloyed by copper, therefore, the gray cast iron alloyed by the mixture additive has a better machinability than the cast iron alloyed by copper.
