TiC Reinforcement Composite Coating Produced Using Graphite of the Cast Iron by Laser Cladding

In this study, a TiC-reinforced composite coating was produced to improve the wear resistance of a pearlite matrix grey iron using a pre-placed Ti powder by laser cladding. Results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed that the coating was composed of TiC particles and two kinds of α-Fe phase. The fine TiC par...

Cast Iron Metallurgy

Cast iron (CI) is one of the oldest materials in commercial use. It has excellent compressive strength and is commonly used for structures that require this property, as well as for water and sewer lines. This article explains CI metallurgy and why the understanding of this metallurgy is key to understanding other ferrous materials and alloys. The composition of cast iron (CI) varies significan...

study of effective parameters of coating on internal pores in cast iron parts produced by lost-foam casting

in this study, the microstructure and properties of foam glass obtained as a result of the interaction of the waste glass with sic as the foaming agent and fe2o3 as the oxidizing agent have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy (sem), as well as three-point bending and pycnometery tests. first, the temperature and optimized amount of sic for making foam glass was determined. the ...

Gray cast-iron water pipe metallurgy

The results of a metallographic study of grey cast iron water pipes are reported. These pipes had been installed between 1885 and 1973 in eight different water systems. Each pipe had been extracted during scheduled maintenance or failure repairs to provide data for a larger study to produce a methodology for determining the residual life of grey cast iron pipes. This metallographic study was co...
