On the Effect of Pouring Temperature on Spheroidal Graphite Cast Iron Solidification

This work is focused on the effect of pouring temperature on the thermal-microstructural response of an eutectic spheroidal graphite cast iron (SGCI). To this end, experiments as well as numerical simulations were carried out. Solidification tests in a wedge-like part were cast at two different pouring temperatures. Five specific locations exhibiting distinct cooling rates along the sample were...

Graphite Morphology’s Influence on Shot Peening Results in Cast Irons

The different shot peening responds of a grey cast iron (GI) with its flake graphite and a compacted cast iron (CGI) with its vermicular graphite was analyzed and compared in this paper. For peening using identical parameters, CGI showed a larger plastic deformation zone with higher subsurface compressive stresses than GI. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) mapping and backscatter electron...

The Effect of Carbides Morphology on Tribological Behaviour of Ni-Hard 4 Cast Irons

In this research the effect of volume and morphology of eutectic carbides on tribological behaviour of Ni-Hard 4 cast irons have been investigated. Therefore, as a result of the fact that the carbon content effects the carbides morphology of Ni-hard cast irons, the chemical compositions of five different specimens were kept constant with the exception of the carbon content, which was varied fro...

Cast Iron: A Solid Choice for Reducing Gear Noise

Robert O'Rourke is a product engineering manager with the Dura-Bar division of Wells Manufacturing Company (Woodstock, IL), which introduced continuous cast iron to the North American market in 1961. He can be reached at (800) 227-6455 or by email at rorourke @wellsmanufacturing.com. Material selection can play an important role in the constant battle to reduce gear noise. Specifying tighter d...
